“The international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370,” Najib said during the conference, according to Reuters.
UPDATE 2:34 pm: French officials still haven’t confirmed that the debris is from MH370.
Mmm. French now saying just "strong indications" it's MH370. Needs more testing. Not quite the definite message from the Malaysians.
