Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed that a jet part found on an island near Africa came from Malaysia Airlines’ Flight 370, the first physical evidence from the jetliner that vanished 17 months ago.
Investigators “conclusively” linked the piece to the missing aircraft, Najib said Thursday. A French prosecutor stopped short of that assessment, saying only that officials have a “strong presumption” that the debris being studied in a government laboratory is from the doomed plane.
