The father and daughter were among some 200,000 people who the U.N. said late Sunday have fled Syria's largest city, Aleppo, during days of clashes between rebels and the military.

Colo. suspect charged with murder CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — James Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did in his first court appearance last week after the deadly Colorado movie theater shootings. In a packed Denver- area courtroom Monday, Holmes, 24, sat silently and did not react as he heard formal charges against him, including first-degree murder for each of the 12 who died and attempted murder for each of the 58 people who were injured in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history.

(AP) — Frustrated by their inability to achieve some policy goals, conserva- tives in Republican states are turning against moder- ate members of their own party, trying to drive them out of state legislatures to helping finance the efforts by supporting primary election challenges target- ing several dozen moder- ate Republicans in the Midwest and South, espe- cially prominent lawmak- ers who run key state committees. Two years after Repub- licans swept into power in many state capitols, the challengers say it's time to adopt more conservative policies. ''If you don't believe in that playbook, then why are you on the team?'' declared Greg Smith, a Kansas state representa- tive who's running for the state Senate, with the goal of making it more conser- vative. The push is most intense in Kansas, where conservatives are attempt- ing to replace a dozen moderate Republican sen- ators who bucked new Gov.
