TOKYO (AP) - The Japanese government detected tremors on Wednesday that led it to suspect North Korea had conducted a second nuclear test, officials and news reports said. Shortly after Japan said it suspected another test had been conducted, the country's meteorological agency reported a magnitude-6.0 earthquake shook northern Japan. U.S. and South Korean monitors said they had not detected any new seismic activity in North Korea on Wednesday. Copyright 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
