SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia does not currently plan to extend the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, despite the recommendation of investigators to do so, a spokeswoman for the national transport minister told Reuters.

The investigators' report, released Tuesday, does not amount to the credible, new evidence required to extend the search, Kerri Griffiths, a spokeswoman for Australia's Infrastructure and Transport minister Darren Chester, said by telephone.
