Saudi officers take photos of a joint military exercise between 21 Muslim nations in the Saudi desert
Saudi Arabia has proposed a “Nato-like” military alliance of Islamic countries to combat terrorism, it has been reported.
The proposed alliance would not be against any particular country but would combat terrorism and threats like Isis,
Pakistan has been entrusted to develop the framework for the proposed military alliance of 34 Muslim-majority nations.
It comes as Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawz Shareef and its army chief General Raheel Shareef (no relation) were in Saudi Arabia for a three-day visit to witness the end of a major joint military exercise.
Troops from 21 different countries took part in the manoeurves in northern Saudi Arabia to better prepare for a terror attack.
It is unclear whether the alliance of Muslim nations will include Iran - the Shia-dominated enemy of Saudi Arabia which has recently seen the West's economic sanctions against it being lifted.
It comes as Israel is reportedly quietly making overtures to Sunni Arab states to push for closer ties.
Tel Aviv is hoping to counter the influence of Tehran - which has repeatedly threatened to attack Israel with the nuclear weapons it was developing,
Many have criticised Saudi Arabia for alleged human rights abuses in its proxy war with Iran for dominance in the Middle East.
