Nigeria to Charge Cheney in Bribery Case
----------------------------------------



Nigeria is reportedly planning on filing charges against former U.S.
Vice President Dick Cheney in a $180 million bribery investigation
involving Halliburton, the company he headed before taking office. A
Nigerian prosecutor says Cheney and executives from five foreign
corporations, including Halliburton, will be indicted in the coming days
and that an arrest warrant could be issued through Interpol. Halliburton
has been accused of bribing Nigerian officials to win a lucrative gas
project during the time Cheney was CEO.
