North Korea shows film of 'healthy' Kim
FRESH images released yesterday by North Korea show its leader, Kim Jong Il, appearing fit while touring a military unit amid questions over his health.
The pictures, aired on state-run North Korean TV and distributed by South Korea's unification ministry, show Mr Kim smiling during a visit to an air force unit. He is dressed in a winter parka, brown fur hat, thick gloves and sunglasses.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency reported the military visit late on Sunday, saying Mr Kim praised the airmen for their diligence and urged them to remain disciplined in the face of enemy "aggression". It did not say when Mr Kim made the visit or where the unit was located.
South Korean and US officials say Mr Kim suffered a stroke in August, but North Korea denies the leader, 66, who has not named a successor, was ever ill.
