PERTH: Australia's deputy prime minister Warren Truss said on Saturday that the search for Malaysian Flight MH370 would continue "indefinitely", insisting satellite images of two objects were still the best lead so far.

Despite 15 sorties by Australian, American and New Zealand surveillance aircraft, nothing has been sighted in the desolate area since Canberra announced on Thursday that two objects had been spotted in the southern Indian Ocean that could be related to the plane.
