Robotic submarine completes 14th mission to locate missing jet

The Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 - carrying 239 people, including five Indians, an Indo-Canadian and 154 Chinese nationals - had mysteriously vanished on March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.

The mystery of the missing plane continued to baffle aviation and security authorities who have so far not succeeded in tracking the aircraft despite deploying hi-tech radar and other gadgets.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama, who flew into Malaysia on his three-day visit, promised fresh support to Malaysia in tracking down the plane.

A day before his arrival, he told a Malaysian newspaper, The Star, that the US remains committed to the search.

“The United States was one of the first countries to join in the search for the missing plane,” he said.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has said a preliminary report on the plane's disappearance will be available to the public next week.

He also asked an internal investigation team to look into what other information may be released publicly next week, his office said.
