Hunt for MH370: More Debris Found on Réunion Island

Malaysian officials said an airplane wing part found last week on the remote Indian Ocean island of Réunion came from the same type of aircraft as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, raising hope it will offer clues to solving the mysterious disappearance of the jet nearly 17 months ago.
French officials, however, declined to confirm Malaysia’s assertion before an analysis of the part officially begins Wednesday, underscoring the confusion that has emerged in the sprawling, multinational investigation. Local officials in Réunion were also sifting through reports of new debris found on the island, a French territory off the east coast of Madagascar, as scavengers came to the beach looking for other parts that could have washed up on the beach.
