Pyongyang
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea's official news agency says leader Kim Jong Il's son has been named to the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party.
SEOUL, South Korea - The ascension of Kim Jong Il's little-known, 20-something son to a prominent ruling party post put him well on the path Wednesday to succeed the supreme leader at the helm of nuclear-armed North Korea and carry the family dynasty into a third generation.
SEOUL, South Korea - Kim Jong Il made his mysterious youngest son a four-star general in a promotion seen Tuesday as the first step toward his ascent as the next leader of North Korea - extending the family dynasty in the reclusive totalitarian country to a third generation.
SEOUL, South Korea - After Kim Jong Il's safe return, North Korea confirmed what for days had been clear: the Dear Leader was on a not-so-secret trip to northeastern China.
