Media Shows Images Of Kim, (Washington Times)…Unattributed, December 17, 2008. Pg. 13
SEOUL — North Korea stepped up its campaign to prove leader Kim Jong-il is well and in control by showing him looking at an electronic copy of a newspaper dated Tuesday in a series of photos released through its official media.
U.S. and South Korean officials have said Mr. Kim, 66, suffered a stroke in August, raising questions about leadership in Asia’s only communist dynasty and about who was making decisions about the North’s nuclear program .
Despite re-emerging in early October in official media reports about making public appearances and seen in undated photographs, there had been no definite and up-to-date image that showed the reclusive leader in good health.
In the series of photographs released by KCNA news agency, Mr. Kim is seen inspecting a library in the northern Jagang province and looking at a computer monitor displaying an electronic copy of the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper dated Dec. 16.
