Australia says Mozambique debris most likely from MH370
SYDNEY | BY SWATI PANDEY
Australia said on Thursday that plane debris recovered earlier this month from Mozambique was highly likely to have come from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which was carrying 239 people when it went missing more than two years ago.
A Malaysian government investigation team has found that both pieces of debris are consistent with panels from a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft, said Australia's minister for infrastructure and transport, Darren Chester.
"The analysis has concluded the debris is almost certainly from MH370," he said.
"That such debris has been found on the east coast of Africa is consistent with drift modeling ... and further affirms our search efforts in the southern Indian Ocean," Chester said.
