Search in Indian Ocean continues despite cyclone

SEPANG: The search for MH370 continues full-steam ahead despite a tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean that threatens to hamper the progress of ships looking for possible debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200.

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said some of the ships sailing to the location where two objects were spotted by satellites 2,500km south-west of Perth, Australia, would have to brave severe weather conditions and sail through the Category One Cyclone Gillian.
