Focus back on Andaman search area
Kuala Lumpur: Aircraft and ships have also renewed a search in the Andaman Sea between India and Thailand, going over areas that have already been exhaustively swept to find some clue to un-lock one of the biggest mysteries in modern aviation as the Aus-tralian lead is yet to find any parts of the plane. India said it was sending two aircraft, a Poseidon P-8I maritime surveillance aircraft and a C-130 Hercules transporter, to join the hunt in the southern Indian Ocean at its own behest.
