WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department is looking into allegations that a subsidiary of Halliburton Co. was involved in payment of $180 million in bribes to win a contract for a natural gas project in Nigeria, officials said Wednesday.

The $4 billion Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas Plant was built in the 1990s by a consortium that included Kellogg, Brown & Root during a time when Vice President Dick Cheney headed Halliburton.

Two senior Justice Department officials, speaking Wednesday on condition of anonymity, said the department had requested Halliburton voluntarily provide documents related to the allegations. Those documents, they said, could determine whether or not a full investigation is launched.
