ISLAMABAD, June 10: Brig (retired) Feroze Hasan, while explaining the remarks attributed to him in a report titled "US role for nuke crisis management proposed" published in Dawn of June 9, has claimed that he did not make any assertion which suggested that the US be given access to nuclear sites, and recommended an increased US role for crisis management between India and Pakistan.
He claimed that he had explained several paradoxes and dilemmas confronted in the management of nuclear capability including that of "technology versus human." Brig Hasan said he had actually cautioned that the generic technology often proposed to be made available for South Asia by Western countries in public literature should be carefully examined.
