ARBUSTO - BUSH (SPANISH)

[ingvar]

Arbusto Energy (sometimes referred to as Arbusto Oil)[1] was a petroleum and energy company formed in Midland, Texas, in 1977, by George Walker Bush and a group of investors which included Dorothy Bush, Lewis Lehrman, William Henry Draper III, Bill Gammell, and James R. Bath.

It was later revealed that Bath made an investment of $50,000 while representing Salem bin Laden of the Saudi Binladin Group. This fact became controversial after the September 11, 2001 attacks due to Salem bin Laden being an older, half-brother of Osama bin Laden, who has claimed responsibility for the planning and financing of the attacks. The Bush family's business dealings with the bin Laden family were criticized by many; a small group allege that the Bush/bin Laden business relationship led to Osama bin Laden being groomed as a CIA asset.
