• On 30 October 2004, l'Humanité published an article entitled "G. W. Bush, oil, skulduggery and Co.", which suggested that Mr Khaled Bin Mahfouz was the director of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). We would like to make the following corrections: Mr Bin Mahfouz has never been the director of the BCCI. He has never held an executive position in the bank, of which he was only a non-executive administrator between 1986 and 1989 and a shareholder between 1986 and 1988. Furthermore, it has never been suggested that Mr Bin Mahfouz might have been linked to the criminal activities of which the bank is suspected.
