Australia 'confident looking in right area' and MH370 will be found

SYDNEY: Australian authorities said Thursday they were confident the search for MH370 was being carried out in the right area and the plane would be found after Malaysia confirmed debris on an Indian Ocean island was from the missing flight.

The debris, part of a wing known as a flaperon, found on Reunion "does seem to indicate that the plane did come down, more or less where we thought it did, and it suggests that for the first time we might be a little bit closer to solving this baffling mystery," Prime Minister Tony Abbott told reporters Thursday.
