(Joshua Paul, File/Associated Press)KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s government said Thursday that two more pieces of debris, discovered in South Africa and Rodrigues Island off Mauritius, are “almost certainly” from Flight 370, bringing the total number of pieces believed to have come from the missing Malaysian jet to five. “As such, the team has confirmed that both pieces of debris from South Africa and Rodrigues Island are almost certainly from MH370,” he said in a statement. In March, investigators confirmed two pieces of debris found along Mozambique’s coast were almost certainly from the aircraft. All five pieces have been found in various spots around the Indian Ocean. Malaysia’s government said Thursday, May 12, 2016, that two more pieces of debris, discovered in South Africa and Rodrigues Island off Mauritius, were “almost certainly” from Flight 370, which mysteriously disappeared more than two years ago with 239 people on board.
