MAKASSAR, Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesia deployed more troops and helicopters in the hunt for a missing airliner almost a week after it vanished from radar screens with 102 people aboard as anger grew among the passengers' relatives. 

Another 700 troops and four more helicopters were being used to look for the 17-year-old Boeing 737-400 operated by Indonesian budget airline Adam Air, said military spokesman Captain Mulyadi in Makassar on Sulawesi island, where search efforts are being coordinated.
