NEW YORK - Saudi Arabia has warned it could decide to provide
financial support to Iraqi Sunnis if the U.S. pulls its troops out of
Iraq, where sectarian violence between the minority Sunnis and
majority Iraqi Shiites has threatened to tear apart the country, The
New York Times reported.

Saudi Arabia is a majority Sunni country and up to now has promised
U.S. officials that it would not intervene to assist Iraq's Sunni
insurgency, according to the report, appearing in Wednesday's edition
of The Times and citing anonymous American and Arab diplomatic sources.

But that promise might not hold if U.S. troops leave Iraq, the
newspaper said. The Bush administration has repeatedly said there are
no plans for the immediate pullout of U.S. troops.

The Times reported that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia sent the warning
to Vice President
Dick Cheney two weeks ago during the vice president's visit to Riyadh.
The message also emphasized the kingdom's displeasure with proposed
talks between the U.S. government and
Iran.

Iran — a majority Shiite country — is believed to be providing
military and financial support to Shiite elements. The recently
released Iraq Study Group report suggested the Bush Administration
engage Iran and neighboring
Syria in talks aimed at applying pressure on Iraqi Shiites to keep
what some analysts are calling a civil war from spiraling into a
regional conflict.

Saudi Arabia has expressed concern that once U.S. troops leave Iraq
that the controlling Shiite majority could massacre the Sunni
minority, believed to comprise a large faction of the deadly
insurgency that has claimed thousands of Iraqi civilian and U.S.
military lives.

The Times reported that Saudi Arabia's fears seemed to have been
exacerbated by growing discussions in Washington aimed at accelerating
the timeframe for bringing troops home.
