Bush signs US-India nuclear bill

US President George W Bush has signed into law a
nuclear deal with India, which ends a three-decade
ban on US nuclear trade with Delhi.

The landmark agreement was approved by the US
Congress nearly a week ago.

The deal will give India access to US civilian nuclear
technology and fuel in return for inspections of its
civilian, but not military, nuclear facilities.

India says the accord is vital to meet its rising
energy needs. Critics say it creates a dangerous
precedent.
