Paris prosecutor denies any fresh finds from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

The Paris prosecutor's office says there is no new airplane debris from the French island of Reunion, contradicting reports from the Malaysian government.

A spokeswoman in the prosecutor's office, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, denied that any new material from an airplane had been turned over to French authorities. 

Malaysia's transport minister had said hours earlier that new debris, including window material and metal, had been collected.

Other French officials with ties to the investigation Paris and Reunion also said they were unaware of any new debris.

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the discovery of the plane wing part has reopened wounds in the mystery of MH370.

Kerry, who is in Malaysia for meetings with Southeast Asian counterparts, says the U.S. hopes that the debris that was discovered on Reunion Island — if it is found to be conclusively from the aircraft — will help to bring some sense of closure.

He says perhaps even more reliable information that can be tracked from the sea currents may narrow the area of search.

He also commended the French authorities and other international experts for their diligence in the analysis of the wing as well as in the ongoing search.
