WASHINGTON:  The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) estimates that funding set aside for assistance to the Malaysian government in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) aircraft could last until April.

Pentagon spokesman Steve Warren provided the department's costs in response to a query from reporters earlier this week, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
