[0:07] >> The Egypt air crash is turning into a
[0:09] criminal who done it. CBS News is in
[0:12] Egypt tonight digging into the
[0:13] background of the cockpit crew. A killer
[0:16] at age 11. He was convicted today as an
[0:19] adult and could get life. The Federal
[0:22] Reserve raises interest rates one more
