   DUBAI - Iran's Revolutionary Guards have seized a ship on suspicion of
   smuggling fuel in the Gulf near the island of Abu Musa, and detained
   its 16 Malaysian crew, the state news agency IRNA reported on Monday.

   IRNA said the ship was carrying nearly 1,312,000 liters of fuel. The
   report did not say what national flag the vessel was flying. Iran has
   frequently seized boats that it says are being used for smuggling fuel
   in the Gulf.
