Kim appears in public
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) leader Kim Jong-il made his first public appearance in nearly two months, state media reported.
The DPRK's radio and TV stations reported yesterday that Kim, 66, watched a university football match in what appeared to be his first public outing since mid-August.
Kim attended the game marking the 62nd anniversary of his alma mater, Kim Il-sung University, named for his father who founded DPRK. Reports said he congratulated the two teams after the match.
