MH370 search: Abbott warns of lengthy hunt


SYDNEY: The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will likely continue for “a long time”, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott (pic) warned Saturday, a day after voicing confidence that signals from the black box had been detected.

The Australian-led search for the Boeing 777, which disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, is racing to gather as many signals as possible to determine an exact resting place before a submersible is sent down to find wreckage.
