Australia to revise MH370 search zone

[SYDNEY] Australian officials yesterday said that they will announce the new search zone for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 by month's end, as mapping of the Indian Ocean seabed resumed.

The jet went missing on March 8 flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite a massive aerial and sea search, no sign of the aircraft - which was carrying 239 people - has been found.

An underwater probe of the Indian Ocean seabed where acoustic signals, thought at the time to have come from the jet's black box recorders, were heard also proved fruitless.
