TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Japan has received intelligence indicating that North Korea may be preparing to test launch a short-range missile, an official said Thursday.

Information from spy satellites and radio waves has shown North Korea beefing up troops and equipment around missile launch bases, said Shigemi Terui, a spokesman at the prime minister's office.

The government has set up an emergency task-force team to help gather more information, Terui said.

The communist country test fired short-range anti-ship missiles into the ocean on several occasions last year during an international standoff over its nuclear weapons program.
