KUALA LUMPUR, March 20-- Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Thursday held a meeting with Chief of Defence Forces Mohd Zulkifeli Mohd Zin after suspicious objects related to a missing Malaysian aircraft that disappeared on March 8 was found in the southern Indian Ocean.

Najib said in his latest post on Twitter that he held the meeting after Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott had called him to convey the news of the objects being sighted on satellite imagery.

"Meeting my Chief of Defence Forces. After call from @ TonyAbbottMHR, awaiting confirmation from Australia on the objects found," he said in his Twitter.

Abbott told Parliament on Thursday that new satellite images showed two possible objects in the ocean, and new and credible information had come to light in relation to the search.

"Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified," Abbott said.

But he also cautioned, "We must keep in mind the task of locating these objects will be extremely difficult and it may turn out that they are not related to the search for flight MH370."
