Meir Dagan

LONDON – MI6 chief Sir John Scarlett has been told that Saudi Arabia is "seriously considering" whether Israel should be given permission to fly over the kingdom to bomb Iran's nuclear sites, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

The sites are seen as a major threat by both Tel Aviv and Riyadh.

The matter was discussed at a meeting between Scarlett, Meir Dagan, the ebullient chief of Mossad, and Saudi Arabian officials.

The meeting ostensibly was for Scarlett to introduce Dagan to Sir John Sawyers, who officially takes over MI6 in November.

It took place in London three weeks ago after Dagan had held secret talks with Saudi officials in Cairo.

But details of the discussion only began to circulate in Britain's intelligence community this week.

It followed after John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who was on his way back from a visit to the Gulf, told a closed-door meeting of intelligence analysts that it was "entirely logical" for the Israelis to fly over Saudi Arabia.
