The Local Coordination Committees, an activist network, said rebels retook the villages of Kafr Shoush and Braghida on Sunday, expanding their buffer around the rebel-held town of Azaz, home to tens of thousands of war refugees. The Islamic State advance threatened to swallow up the northern town, sparking alarm from relief organizations. 6 Egypt crackdown: A military court sentenced eight alleged Muslim Brotherhood members to death on terrorism charges Sunday, a security official and state media reported.
