NEWS IN BRIEF :: NORTH KOREA
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il, made his first public appearance in more than a month when he attended a football game, according to official media. The 66-year-old had not been seen in public since mid-August. This sparked speculation about his health, with American and South Korean officials saying he had suffered a stroke, while North Korean officials denied he was ill. This absence from the public eye is believed to be his longest since he assumed the role of leader in 1994.
