Egypt's Air Crash Likely Caused By Terrorism - Minister

The crash of an EgyptAir flight en route to Cairo from Paris was more likely caused by a terrorist attack than by a technical failure, Egypt's aviation minister says.

Minister Sherif Fathy discussed the crash even as a search operation continued in the Mediterranean for wreckage from the plane, which had 66 people aboard when it disappeared from radar Thursday, moments after it entered Egyptian airspace on the four-hour flight from France.
