Malaysian team to visit Maldives to check MH370 link

Last week Malaysia said a wing fragment found 2,000 miles away on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion was confirmed to be from the Malaysia Airlines flight.

Spot MH370 is not an official app and much of the site’s listed debris has been dismissed as rubbish by Malaysian and French authorities.

“We will be dispatching a team to the Maldives to view the debris as well as conduct preliminary verification of the debris“, Mr. Liow said in a statement on Monday.

“At this stage, it is highly premature to speculate on whether this debris is in any way connected to MH370“, he cautioned.

Volunteers participating in the search said the search is an act of solidarity.

The Boeing 777 disappeared on March 8 last year, sparking the largest multinational search operation in history, now focused on the southern Indian Ocean based on satellite data hinting at the plane’s path.
