CANBERRA: An Australian research team on Wednesday claimed that they have narrowed the location of missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370 to just a fraction of the ocean search area previously explored by Australian, Malaysian and Chinese authorities, China's Xinhua news agency reported. In January, a joint statement from the governments of Australia, Malaysia and China said the ocean search for MH370 would be "suspended indefinitely" until "credible new evidence" came to light. MH370 was a scheduled passenger flight bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. "So that's the basis of how we know this current was flowing across the seventh arc at this time," Griffin said at the conference. He said that CSIRO - Australia's government-funded scientific agency - had passed on the information to the authorities in charge of the search of MH370, but the government has not yet mentioned whether or not the ocean search would resume.
