The number of Afghan civilians, including children, killed in violence rose by nearly 17 percent in the first half of this year, compared with the same period in 2013 as the fight is increasingly taking place closer to homes in populated areas, the U.N. said Wednesday, July 9, 2014.(AP Photo/Rahmat Gul, File)

Afghan officials released preliminary election results Monday showing former finance minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai well in the lead for the presidency but said no winner can be declared because millions of ballots were being audited for fraud. The announcement came as Ahmadzai is locked in a standoff with his rival Abdullah Abdullah, who has refused to accept any results until all fraudulent ballots are invalidated.

Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah speaks during a press conference at his residence in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, July 6, 2014. The country's election crisis deepened Sunday as the two presidential candidates, Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, sparred over the release of preliminary results and calls mounted for a broader investigation of suspect ballots amid allegations of massive fraud. Abdullah, who garnered the most votes in the first round of voting on April 5 but failed to get the majority needed to win outright, has boycotted the electoral institutions after alleging widespread ballot box stuffing and other efforts to rig the June 14 runoff vote against him.
