Relatives unmoved by new search zone for jet

Hunt for MH370 to focus on priority area farther south of previous effort

News on Thursday of a fresh search zone for the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared more than three months ago failed to lift the spirits of relatives of the 154 Chinese passengers on board.

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said in Canberra the new phase of the search will focus on a priority area of about 60,000 sq km farther south of the previous search area.
