SYDNEY (Reuters) - Nearly 100 suspected asylum seekers are still missing a day after a boat capsized about 200 km north of Australia's Christmas Island, Australia's minister for home affairs said on Friday.

Jason Clare said four more ships and three aircraft were on the way to aid the search for survivors from the boat carrying an estimated 210 people. A number of Australian defence and civilian vessels are already in the area.
