FACTBOX-Gulf Arab countries' population, economy, military - Yahoo! News UK

The six-member Gulf Cooperation Council met in Riyadh on Monday to discuss closer political economic and
military union to counter what they see as growing external threats of the Arab Spring and Iran's regional influence. The GCC was formed in 1981 in the wake of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.
