NKorea prints photo of heir apparent Kim Jong Un (AP)

SEOUL, South Korea � North Korea has published a photo in state media of leader Kim Jong Il's youngest son and heir apparent in what is likely the first official image of him to be released.

A photo of a group of senior Workers' Party officials was published in Thursday's edition of the country's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper.

An article accompanying the photo lists the names of those in the picture. The 20-something Kim Jong Un was one of the officials named.

The release of the photo comes after the younger Kim earlier this week was handed top military and party posts at a Workers' Party conference.
