WASHINGTON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Indonesia has asked the United States for help in locating the AirAsia (Kuala Lumpur: 5099.KL - news) jet that went missing on Sunday carrying 162 people, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.

"Today we received a request for assistance locating the airplane, and we are reviewing that request to find out how best we can meet Indonesia's request for assistance," State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke told a regular news briefing.
