Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia's transport minister says two plane pieces found in Mozambique will be sent to Australia to verify if they belong to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai says a part found recently by an American in Mozambique is now in Malaysia for safekeeping.
He says a Malaysian team is expected to return this week from South Africa with another part found by a South African family holidaying in Mozambique. The family took the piece with them when they returned home.
Liow said Monday both pieces will then be sent to Australia to be examined by an international investigation team. The plane vanished March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The search is ongoing in the southern Indian Ocean.
