Search narrowed after new analysis


PETALING JAYA: The search for the missing Malaysian jet in the southern Indian Ocean has been narrowed after new analysis of its fuel reserves.

An assessment by the US National Transportation Safety Board allowed the search to be focused on an area about the size of Italy, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in an e- mailed statement. That’s about half the size of the zone planned earlier, said John Young, the agency’s general manager of emergency response.
