As Malaysian authorities prepare to send a team of experts to analyse debris found washed ashore on several islands in the Maldives, experts have cast doubt on the possibility that the parts could be wreckage from the missing Malaysian flight MH370.
Islanders from Kaafu atoll Vahbinfaru, Baa atoll Fehendhoo, Baa atoll Fulhadhoo in the central Maldives and Haa Alif Uligan in the north have all reported finding pieces of debris suspected to be parts of the Boeing 777 aircraft that disappeared on March 8, 2014 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
Maldives Civil Aviation Authority (MCAU) chief Hussain Jaleel confirmed that a Malaysian team is due to arrive in Maldives for investigation. A date is not confirmed and details on how the investigation will be conducted are not yet known.
The wreckage has been brought to Malé and is being stored at a warehouse.
