U.S. officials close to the investigation told CBS News the debris found several days ago is from a Boeing 777, the type of aircraft MH370 used.
The debris is a "fixed leading edge right hand stabilizer," part of the small wing-like portion of the tail section of the plane, the officials said, adding that it was being transported to Malaysia. American officials confirmed the debris was from a Boeing 777 based on images taken of the part.
A spokesman for the Joint Agency Coordination Center told CBS News that the center was aware of the discovery of the debris found in the southeast African nation, and that they were working with officials in both Malaysia and Mozambique to investigate.
