KABUL, Afghanistan Mar 1, 2006 (AP)— President Bush, on an unannounced visit to Afghanistan, said Wednesday he remains confident Osama bin Laden "will be brought to justice" despite a so-far futile five-year hunt.

Bush also suggested that the United States and India, where he was headed next, have still not reached a deal over U.S. help for India's civilian nuclear program.

"People all over the world are watching the experience here in Afghanistan," Bush said as he stood side-by-side with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Amid extremely tight security, Bush made the surprise visit in Afghanistan at the onset of a scheduled visit to India and Pakistan.

"It's a thrill to come to a country which is dedicating itself to the dignity of every person who lives here," said Bush said, making his first visit to Afghanistan. For his part, Karzai greeted Bush as "our great friend, our great supporter, a man who helped us liberate."
