Suspected debris of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 found in Mozambique have arrived in Malaysia for analysis, officials said Thursday.

Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai was quoted as saying by local media that the debris would be analyzed by experts to determine if it came from the missing flight.

He said initial analysis wound be done in Malaysia before being sent to Australia for further verification.

Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, most of them being Chinese nationals. A joint search in South Indian Ocean, where the flight presumably had ended its journey, has yet to found its wreckage.

A wing part called flaperon was recovered in the French oversea island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean last July and was determined to have been a part of the Boeing 777. Enditem
