FBI Director
James Comey told a House subcommittee on Wednesday he expects his agency to finish
an investigation of computer files related to the missing Malaysia Airlines
flight in the next one or two days.
Comey, who
was testifying before an appropriations subcommittee on the FBI's 2015 budget
request, said Malaysian authorities gave the FBI forensic computer materials
and that the agency's review of those materials is nearly complete.
"I have
teams working really around the clock to exploit that," Comey said.
"I don't want to say more about that in an open setting, but I expect it
to be done fairly shortly. Within a day or two we will finish that work."
Comey did
not say what results he expected from the FBI's analysis. He also denied
allegations that Malaysian authorities had not been open to assistance offered
by the FBI in the investigation of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which has
been missing for over two weeks.
The search
for the plane continued on Wednesday as new satellite images revealed more than
100 objects in the southern Indian Ocean that may be debris from the jetliner.
It is thought to have crashed on March 8 with the loss of all 239 people aboard
after flying thousands of miles off course.
