CRIME Lo ca l ma n arrested for vi ol at in g restraining or de r By John Daniszewski The Associated Press KABUL, AFGHANISTAN One of two contestants in Afghanistan's deadlocked presidential election told The Associated Press on Monday that a U.S.-bro- kered deal for a full ballot audit pulled the country back from the brink and put government legitimacy back on track. Former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, speaking in his first inter- view since the agreement was reached Saturday with his rival, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdul- lah, said the deal has laid the foundation for a na- tional unity government. Ahmadzai said he and Abdullah will meet face to face at his home Tuesday to talk and begin fleshing out the framework for that gov- ernment with participation from both camps and all communities, and he will later be hosted in turn by Abdullah. The former finance min- ister said his fears of a re- turn to Afghanistan's dark- est days helped motivate the two politicians' agree- ment. He said he is deter- mined Afghanistan will not be torn apart as it was dur- ing the wars of the 1990s nor as Iraq is being torn apart today by the Sunni insurgency against the Shi- ite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri al- Maliki. Ahmadzai said compari- sons between Afghanistan and Iraq are inappropriate. "I am not Maliki and Af- ghanistan is not Iraq," he declared. "What happened in the last days should show you our commitment to in- clusiveness." The deal, which was bro- kered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in two days of shuttling between the candidates here, has been hailed by Afghans of all stripes. Some feared a failure to agree on the elec- tion result would splinter power and leave the West- ern-backed government even more vulnerable to a renewed Taliban insur- gency. Unofficial and dis- puted results showed Ah- madzai well in the lead, but supporters of Abdullah charged that was only be- cause of widespread vote fraud. The breakthrough deal provided that every one of the 8 million ballots cast now will be audited under national and inter- national supervision so the result will be accepted on both sides, and, after a new president is determined, the loser and he will join forces to assemble a national gov- ernment. Ahmadzai, an erudite fi- nancial expert with a slight, gentle appearance and who speaks fluent English, said the key goal of that govern- ment will be to form a so- cial compact with all Af- ghans to bring development and break the vicious cycle that has beset the country with almost continuous war since 1978. The first job will be to bring stability, and the deal meets that purpose, he said. "The outcome of this election now can no longer be subject to any tarnish in terms of its legitimacy. So the next president of Af- ghanistan can begin with clarity of a mandate and the clarity of a commit- ment," he said. A unity government will insulate Afghans from "po- litical disputes vastly af- fecting their lives or put- ting their lives in danger." He said the fight over the outcome may have ob- scured the widespread par- ticipation by Afghans in the democratic process, even in some areas where Taliban attacks are frequent. ELECTION Afghan candidate says vote deal will work MASSOUD HOSSAINI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Afghan presidential candidate and former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai speaks during an interview with The Associated Press at his residence in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday. By Jennifer Peltz The Associated Press NEW YORK A man con- victed of using digital-age tools to impersonate and malign his father's aca- demic rivals on the an- cient subject of the Dead Sea Scrolls was sentenced Monday to two months in jail after the state's highest court tossed out some of his convictions — and with them a widely used harass- ment law. Raphael Golb, a litera- ture scholar and now-dis- barred lawyer, was re-sen- tenced on misdemeanor criminal impersonation and forgery charges that the Court of Appeals up- held, even as it nixed his felony identity-theft con- viction and declared an ag- gravated harassment law unconstitutional. Golb had been sentenced in 2010 to six months in jail but was free on bail during his appeal. He remains free at least until July 22, as a judge postponed his sur- render date so he can ask courts to hold off his jail term while he appeals the case further. The 54-year-old Golb was convicted of adopting aliases in derogatory emails and blog posts — including sending emails that seemed like confessions of plagia- rism by one of his father's key adversaries in a schol- arly debate over the scrolls' origin. Golb told state Supreme Court Justice Laura Ward on Monday that he real- ized his online campaign was "inappropriate," but he had seen it as satire, not crime. "I obviously should not have sent out deadpan emails in the names of other individuals," he said. "And I obviously will never do it again." From the start, the case was a rarity. Claims of In- ternet impersonations sel- dom spur criminal trials, let alone trials that air an abstruse but vigorous schol- arly dispute over ancient texts. And with the high court's May ruling, Golb's case gained another distinction by striking down an ag- gravated harassment law that authorities saw as an important tool for pursu- ing domestic violence and other cases, but Golb called an intrusion on free-speech rights. CRIME A er appeal, jail in NYC Dead Sea Scrolls case By Mike Stobbe The Associated Press NEWYORK A second inves- tigation has detailed addi- tional safety problems at federal health laboratories in Atlanta, including the use of expired disinfectants and the transfer of danger- ous germs in Ziploc bags. The new findings were disclosed Monday in a con- gressional committee's summary of a U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture report on the CDC anthrax inci- dent. The USDA report focuses on an incident last month at a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab that handles bioterrorism agents. WThe lab was supposed to completely kill anthrax samples before sending them to two other CDC labs. But the higher-security lab did not completely sterilize the bacteria. Dozens of CDC workers were potentially exposed to dangerous anthrax bac- teria. No one got sick, but a CDC internal investiga- tion report released last week found serious safety lapses, including use of un- approved sterilization tech- niques and use of a potent anthrax in an experiment that didn't require that germ to be used. Separate from the CDC probe, investigators from the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services came to the CDC to look into what happened.
