MH370 search: Aussie PM hopeful but cautious on ‘pulse signal’ detection


SYDNEY/PERTH: Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott (pic) said on Sunday searchers were "hopeful but by no means certain" that a pulse signal reportedly detected by a Chinese ship in the Indian Ocean was related to a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for four weeks.

Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported that a patrol vessel hunting for Flight MH370 had picked up a "ping" on Saturday, raising hopes that it could be from the underwater beacon of the plane's "black box" voice and data recorders.
