March 15, 2014 15:40

Bangladesh today joined an international search operation to trace the missing Malaysian plane by deploying frigates and aircraft in its exclusive economic zone in the Bay of Bengal.

In line with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's directive, two patrol aircraft and two navy frigates -- BNS Omar Faruque and BNS Bangabandhu -- have joined the search, primarily to look for the aircraft in Bangladesh's exclusive economic zone, said a defence ministry spokesman.

Bangladesh decided to join the search for the missing flight MH370 with 14 other countries in view of emerging possibilities that the plane could be tracked down in the Bay of Bengal, he said.
