Malaysia To Inspect Debris Found In Maldives

Malaysia will send a team to the Maldives to inspect debris found there, but cautioned that it was too early to establish any connection to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

This comes after several news reports said unidentified debris had been found in the Maldives and were being collected by authorities in case they are from the missing plane.

"Once it is determined to be aircraft debris, discussions will be held to determine next steps in terms of the process of analysis," said the transport ministry in a statement.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said last week that experts had "conclusively confirmed" a piece of debris found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion last week was part of the wing of MH370.
