Does this say more about Pakistan or Afghanistan?

Hundreds of Pakistani families have fled into Afghanistan and are staying with friends and relatives in an attempt to escape the growing violence in their own country, U.S. military officials and Afghan leaders said yesterday.

Col. Martin Schweitzer, commander of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, told reporters that despite the continued crisis in Pakistan there has not been “a significant threat emerging” in his region.

“There were some — about 300 or 400 families that the governor took in in Khost and did a pretty good program to integrate them back into the communities,” said Col. Schweitzer, who was with his unit in eastern Afghanistan’s Khost province and spoke to reporters at the Pentagon during a joint video conference with Arsallah Jamal, the governor of Khost province.

Mr. Jamal confirmed that the refugees are staying with Afghan families, and not in refugee camps in Afghanistan.
