A news report says that North Korea has released a new photograph of leader Kim Jong Il amid intense speculation over his health.
Yonhap news agency reported that the North's state media released an undated photo Sunday of what they say is Kim watching a football match between two army-affiliated teams.
The photo posted on Yonhap's Web site showed a smiling Kim sitting inside a building and watching something through a window. Scenes of a football match, athletes and the audience stand were not shown in the photo.
Kim, 66, reportedly suffered a stroke and underwent brain surgery in August. North Korea has denied he is ill and has in recent weeks released news reports, photos and footage portraying the leader as active and able.
