A spokeswom- an for Iowa's public health department said CDC tests confirmed the virus in samples from patients in central Iowa and a Colorado hospital said it has confirmed cases. The CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a Monday news briefing that there are other viruses making kids sick. "Most of the runny noses out there are not going to be turn- ing into this," she said. Children with asthma and other health problems are especially at risk for the enterovirus, but reported cases include children without asthma who have developed asthmalike breathing prob- lems, Pallansch said. He said no deaths have been reported in the outbreak. Dr. Mary Anne Jackson, director of infectious diseases at Children's Mercy, said local cases began appearing in mid- August and they appear to have peaked in her area. Schuchat said the strain involved also appeared in the United States last year and in specimens from other coun- tries. She said the CDC learned it had reappeared in this coun- try last month when authori- ties in Chicago and Kansas City notified the agency about severe illnesses in children who had to be hospitalized. She said the virus was found in 11 of 14 specimens from Chi- cago and in 19 of 22 specimens from Missouri.

Presidential candidate breaks pledge to Kerry KABUL, Afghanistan(AP) - Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah said Mon- day that he will not accept the expected official results of the election, breaking a pledge he made to the U.S. secretary of state and injecting new tension into an already drawn-out polit- ical process. Appearing tired and ner- vous, Abdullah told a nationally televised news conference that he believes he won both times Afghans voted this year - in April and again in a June runoff. He accused election authorities of violating the desires of voters by ignoring widespread fraud and preparing to declare his opponent, former Finance Min- ister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, the winner. "We were the winners of the election," said Abdullah. "We are the winners of the election based on the real vote of the people." Abdullah's announcement effectively pre-empts the coun- try's election commission, which is expected to announce the second-round results later this week following a weekslong audit process to weed out the many fraudulent ballots cast. The winner would succeed the outgoing president, Hamid Kar- zai. Abdullah and Ghani Ahmadzai had both pledged to Secretary of State John Kerry during a July visit to the country to abide by the audit's results. The two also agreed to plans to form a government of national unity with participation of the losing side. That second agreement also remains in peril. The two candi- dates met face-to-face on Mon- day, but Abdullah said the talks are deadlocked over how pow- erful to make a newly created position of government chief executive. Kerry made a second visit to Afghanistan in August in a bid to keep the peace. The two can- didates then pledged to set an inauguration before the end of that month, a date which sailed by without a hint of finality to the now five-month-long elec- tion process. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that Kerry had spo- ken with both candidates on Monday. "In our view, the audit pro- cess is still ongoing,"' Psaki said. "Under the supervision of the United Nations, I think it was confirmed that part of the process had been completed. There's more that needs to be done. Dr. Abdullah has indi- cated consistently that he will abide by the constitution, and so we're continuing to work with the candidates to determine how we can resolve this moving forward." Abdullah's latest statement came one day before Afghans cel- ebrate anationalholidaytohonor a former militia commander, Ahmad Shah Massoud, a hero in the country's north, Abdul- lah's power base. Massoud was killed two days before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S., and Abdullah asked the country for calm on Tuesday and told sup- porters not to mix their emotions over the election and Massoud. A spokesman for Abdullahhad said over the weekend that "radi- cals" in his camp could foment violence if he is not given a share of power. On Monday, former Afghan defense minister Abdul Rahim Wardak said he believes violence could break out. "I think there is the possibil- ity," Wardak said in an interview. "There are some countries that want that. Both to our east and west," he said, in apparent refer- ences to neighbors Pakistan and Iran. The U.S. has continued to press Abdullah and Ghani Ahmadzai to form a national unity government, and President Barack Obama spoke with both on Saturday. Though Abdullah said the political process has reached a deadlock, he did not say he was pulling out of talks or that the idea of a national unity government was dead. Kabir Ranjbar, a member of Ghani Ahmadzai's election team, essentially blamed Abdullah for being a poor loser and said he should accept the outcome of the vote given that the audit was aided and observed by the U.N. and the international commu- nity. Abdullah - who placed sec- ond in Afghanistan's 2009 vote after what he alleged was mas- sive vote fraud in favor of Karzai - did not say what he planned to do next. He said he would make a decision "based on consultations withthe people." Afghan election officials under international supervision have finished recounting more than 8 million ballots cast in the June 14 runoff after preliminary results showed GhaniAhmadzai well ahead of Abdullah. Both candidates had teams of observers watching the recount until Abdullah - who believed his complaints of fraud were not being listened to - pulled his observers. At the request of the U.N., Ghani Ahmadzai then did the same. The international community had hoped for a smooth transi- tion of power as most foreign forces withdraw by the end of the year. The U.S. wants the next Afghan president to quickly sign a security agreement to allow some 10,000 troops to remain to assist with counterterrorism operations and training Afghan forces. Karzai, the only president Afghanistan has known since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion that ousted the Taliban, has refused to sign the accord. Both candi- dates have said they would sign it; one must be sworn in first. 4 0 A
