Hopes of finding MH370 'fading', search suspension looms

Putrajaya, Malaysia

HOPES of finding flight MH370's final resting place are "fading" and the massive three-nation search for the doomed jet will be suspended if nothing is found in the suspected crash zone, Malaysia, Australia and China said on Friday.

With the designated search area due to be fully scanned within weeks, transport ministers from the three countries made their announcement after holding talks on the future of the unprecedented deep-sea hunt for the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane.
