George W. Bush's Dubious Friends

Texas governor George W. Bush's campaign to become the Republican candidate
in this November's presidential ballot could shortly run into turbulence
because of new information about his past. Indeed, among the figures Bush
dealt with indirectly when he ran oil companies was Saudi banker Khaled Bin
Mahfouz who, Intelligence Newsletter has learned, is currently under house
arrest in a hospital in Taef at the behest of the American authorities. The
latter are looking into contributions Mahfouz is said to have made to
welfare associations close to terrorist Ussama Bin Laden. Considered as the
"king's treasurer," Mahfouz was recently forced to sharply reduce his stake
in the National Commercial Bank, one of the biggest in the kingdom. Many in
Arab financial circles see this as a harbinger of his disgrace. Mahfouz's
name was linked to the scandal involving the Bank of Credit and Commerce
International (BCCI) , in which he held a 20% interest between 1986-1990.
The BCCI was accused in senator John- Kerry's report of money-laundering and
of financing terrorist groups and covert spy operations before it was wound
up on July 5, 1991, with a $ 12 billion loss to its customers. Mahfouz was
also linked to a case involving fake passports in Ireland in 1997 that
forced Irish foreign minister Ray Burke to resign.
