Plane Window Found on Reunion Island: Malaysia Official

More plane debris, including a window, has been recovered from the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, Malaysia's transport minister said Thursday, NBC News reported. 

Liow Tiong Lai told reporters at a news conference that "many items" have been recovered and sent to authorities for investigation to determine if they are linked to the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.

Malaysian authorities said Wednesday a wing fragment found on the same island came from the missing aircraft, but French authorities have been more circumspect about the discovery. The Malaysian authorities have been criticized for jumping the gun on confirmation. 

Lai said Thursday that "we respect" the French decision to continue further verification on the wing fragment, but that the Malaysian team who are "actually the experts" have confirmed it to be from MH370.
