BREAKING Australian authority to announce new search area for #MH370
CANBERRA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) confirmed with Xinhua on Sunday that the agency is working on analyzing existing data and information to refine a new search area for the missing Malaysian Airline flight MH370.
Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan said the new search area will be announced by ATSB on Wednesday.
Dolan told local media earlier that the new search area would be hundreds of km south of where the first phase of underwater search had covered.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Bluefin-21 had searched some 850 square km of ocean floor in an area some 1,600 km off the coast of Western Australia.
The area was defined on the basis of the four acoustic signals detected by the Towed Pinger Locator deployed on Australian Defense Vessel Ocean Shield.
Since Bluefin-21 had found neither the "black box" nor any debris of the aircraft after searching for more than 40 day, the Joint Agency of Coordination Center (JACC) for the search of the MH370 announced on May 29 that that area can be discounted as the final resting place of MH370, which disappeared on March 8 carrying 239 people.
Inmarsat, the British satellite telecommunications company,told BBC last week that their data had pointed to a "hotspot" - a crash zone of the highest probability - to the southwest of the recent undersea search.
Earlier this month, a commercial ship, Fugro Equator, joined Chinese ship Zhu Kezhen to conduct a bathymetric survey -- mapping of the sea floor -- on an arc area of 60,000 square km, which was defined based on seventh arc where the aircraft last communicated with satellite.
The survey is expected to take three months.
The ATSB has also invited organizations to submit proposals to conduct the underwater search through a request for tender process. Companies can hand in submissions by June 30, 2014.
The underwater search is expected to begin in August and may take 12 months to finish.

BREAKING Gunmen attack Karachi's Jinnah International Airport
Heavily armed gunmen have attacked Karachi's international airport, killing at least four security guards and hurling grenades, reports say.
Pakistani media reported between four and 10 gunmen had attacked Jinnah International Airport's old terminal.
Dawn News said security personnel had surrounded the airport and sealed off roads.
All operations at the terminal have been suspended and flights are being diverted, it said.
Staff are being evacuated.
'Exchange of fire'
The security guards killed were said to be part of the Airport Security Force (ASF).
Dawn said the gunmen had infiltrated the area from the Fokker Gate using forged identity cards.
There is no indication yet who is carrying out the attack.
Geo News said two attackers were also reported dead and that smoke is billowing from the terminal.
The terminal is not normally used for commercial flights.
Senior police official Rao Muhammad Anwar told Agence France-Presse: "Exchange of fire is continuing. We don't know the exact number of the attackers."
Pakistan has been fighting an Islamist insurgency for more than a decade, with the Pakistani Taliban the main group.
Karachi has been a frequent target for militant attacks.

More about the emergency landing at Belfast airport yesterday
An easyJet flight from Manchester made an emergency landing at Belfast International airport on Monday due to a suspected technical fault.
The plane flying from Manchester Airport was met by emergency services on arrival as a precautionary measure before it was towed to a stand for a full inspection.
A spokesperson said passengers were able to disembark as normal.
They added that the aircraft was fully checked over on arrival by engineers and is now back in operation.
"easyJet can confirm that flight EZY137 from Manchester Airport landed safely and routinely at Belfast International Airport on 2 June," a statement said.
"The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew is always easyJet's number one priority."
Kate Johnston, who was on board the plane, described the ordeal as "like something out of a movie".
"The captain asked for one of the crew members to come to the cockpit," she said.
"It became very obvious there was a problem. At first we weren't being told too much and then we were asking whether we'd be landing on water or make it to the runway, the runway at that point was about 20 minutes away.
"The staff came down and said to everybody, explained how to do the brace position, to take our shoes off, and they explained to the people at the emergency doors what they had to do, so it was all quite real.
"People started to cry, including myself. There was lots of children on the plane as well who were getting a bit upset."
