France launches MH370 search at Reunion
Friday, 7 August 2015
France has launched air, land and sea searches on and around the island of Reunion in the hope of finding more debris which could be linked to MH370.
Malaysia has said a wing section found on the French Indian Ocean island came from the lost Malaysia Airlines flight, BBC Online reported.
But French investigators have yet to confirm the link, and have dismissed claims that more debris has been found.
The relatives of the passengers - who were mostly Chinese - have protested at the Malaysian embassy in Beijing.
Flight MH370 was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 when it vanished from radar. The Boeing 777 had 239 people on board.
