Nigeria: Halliburton says officials spoke of Nigeria bribes

Halliburton Co., once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, said an internal probe found information suggesting that members of a consortium it helps lead considered bribing Nigerian officials to win business. The world's No. 2 oilfield services company, which is also fighting accusations it overcharged on contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, said this week the probe concerns the multibillion dollar TSKJ Bonny Island liquefied natural gas plant project.
