Bush cool to giving Pakistan nuclear deal Sat Mar 4, 4:41 AM ET

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush gave no sign on Saturday that he would support granting Pakistan the same kind of nuclear agreement just reached with India.

The subject came up in private talks between Bush and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

The pact, announced on Thursday, marks a major breakthrough for New Delhi, long treated as a nuclear pariah by the world, as it allows it to access American atomic technology and fuel to meet its soaring energy needs. The deal still needs approval by the U.S. Congress.

Asked at a joint news conference if Pakistan, India's nuclear rival, would get a similar deal, Bush was ambiguous. Other U.S. officials have said it would not happen.
