| SYDNEY, Australia — The Australian authorities coordinating the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 said Wednesday that they had begun analyzing two pieces of debris suspected to be from the missing plane and that a third piece recently found in South Africa would also be examined. | |
| The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said the Malaysian government was working with officials in South Africa to arrange for examination of the debris found there this week, which was “suspected to be the cowling from an engine.” Malaysia’s transport minister, Liow Tiong Lai, said Tuesday on Twitter that analysis was needed to determine whether the part, which appeared to bear a partial logo from the engine maker Rolls-Royce, came from Flight 370. | The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said the Malaysian government was working with officials in South Africa to arrange for examination of the debris found there this week, which was “suspected to be the cowling from an engine.” Malaysia’s transport minister, Liow Tiong Lai, said Tuesday on Twitter that analysis was needed to determine whether the part, which appeared to bear a partial logo from the engine maker Rolls-Royce, came from Flight 370. |

| So far, only one piece of wreckage — a wing part called a flaperon, found in July on Réunion, a French island east of Madagascar — has been confirmed to be from Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard. The plane disappeared en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and is believed to have veered off course for reasons unknown, flown south for several hours and crashed into the southern Indian Ocean. | So far, only one piece of wreckage — a wing part called a flaperon, found in July on Réunion, a French island east of Madagascar — has been confirmed to be from Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard.

| Analysts have said that ocean currents could have carried debris from the plane from there to Mozambique, as they apparently carried the flaperon to Réunion. Four search vessels have been scouring the seabed off the remote southwestern coast of Australia for wreckage from the plane, but none has yet been found there. | Analysts have said that ocean currents could have carried debris from the plane from there to Mozambique, as they apparently carried the flaperon to Réunion.
