KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia's coastguard said Tuesday that authorities were questioning the crew of a Chinese vessel detained on suspicion of looting two British World War II shipwrecks. Officers discovered unexploded cannon shells upon boarding the Chinese-registered vessel, which was detained for illegal anchorage over the weekend, said Nurul Hizam Zakaria, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency chief in Johor state. 'Our investigation is now directed to where these cannon shells originated from. Right now, we have officers from multi-agencies searching the big ship,' he told AFP.
