MH370 Malaysian investigation team had found the pieces were consistent with the panels of a Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines.

Sydney: Two pieces of debris found in
Mozambique are "almost certainly from MH370," Transport Minister
Australia said today, after being analyzed by technical specialists polling
missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
"The analysis concluded the
debris is almost certain MH370," he said Darren Chester said in a
statement, adding that the research team MH370 Malaysia has been found that the
pieces were consistent with the panels of a Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines.
"That such remains have been
found on the east coast of Africa is consistent with modeling drift by CSIRO
(national science agency) and said further our research efforts in the southern
Indian Ocean."
Australia leads the search for
MH370 in the Indian Ocean, where it is believed that the flight Kuala
Lumpur-Beijing have diverted when he disappeared on March 8, 2014 carrying 239
passengers and crew.
Hunting is expected to conclude
in June-July if the aircraft is not in the target of 120,000 square kilometers
(46,000 square miles) area.
"The search continues
MH370," said Chester.
"There are 25,000 square
kilometers of the search area underwater still not been sought. We are focused
on completing this task and remain hopeful that the aircraft is."
No crash site was found and so
far only part of the wing of the Boeing 777 recovered from a beach on the
island of Reunion Indian Ocean has been linked to MH370.
Specialists, including Australia
and Boeing have carried out tests with the Malaysian team in Australia on the
two issues after they were found earlier this month in Mozambique.
Joint Agency Coordination Centre
of Australia (JACC) said on Wednesday that Malaysia was also working with
officials from South Africa to organize test another piece of debris
"suspected hood of the engine."
South African authorities said
Tuesday fragment was collected near Mossel Bay, a small town in the province of
Western Cape.
Mossel Bay is more than 2,000
kilometers (1,250 miles) of Vilankulo, Mozambique complex, where one of the
pieces under review in Australia was found.
