*日本称没有北韩导弹试射临近危险

日本政府首要发言人说，看来北韩不会很快试射一枚远程弹道导弹。日本电视放
送协会星期五报导，卫星图片显示北韩东北部一处发射场地有活动迹象，这家电
视台援引没有透露姓名的韩国政府官员的消息。内阁官房长官安倍晋三对这条报
导做出回应。安倍晋三说，东京不相信试射会很快临近。他并没有进一步评论这
个问题。

1998年，北韩通过日本上空向太平洋发射一枚远程导弹，让日本和世界各国政府大
吃
一惊。北韩3年前还向日本海发射了至少另外两枚导弹。


Japan Says No Imminent Danger of North Korean Missile Test

Japan's top government spokesman says it does not appear that North
Korea is about to test-fire a long-range ballistic missile. Chief
Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe was responding to reports today (Friday)
by Japanese broadcaster NHK that satellite pictures show signs of
activity at a launch site in northeastern North Korea. NHK was quoting
unidentified South Korean government officials. Abe says Tokyo does
not believe a launch is imminent. He made no further comments on the
issue.

In 1998, North Korea surprised Japan and governments around the world
by firing a long-range missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean.
Pyongyang also launched at least two other missiles into the Sea of
Japan three years ago.
