North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced.
His death was announced in an emotional statement read out on national television.
The announcer, wearing black, said he had died on Saturday of physical and mental over-work.
The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says his death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea.
Kim Jong-il has been the leader of the impoverished communist country since the death of his father Kim Il-sung in 1994.
He suffered a stroke in 2008 and was absent from public view for several months.
His designated successor is believed to be his third son, Kim Jong-woon, who is thought to be in his late 20s.

Not a whole lot to go off of yet, but it'll be interesting to see how things go from here in the region.

Wow really? I learned about him in my World History Class ... Korea's history is just :gloom:
I would hope everything be better too, but isn't his son exactly like his father - if not worse?
If so, maybe nothing will change.

I hate to say it, but... finally. It's possible that the new leader will be more open, rational and cooperative, although one has to wonder if he will really be in charge.

Not sure if you understand humor, or I don't understand you.

The funny thing about Homefront is that they did not mention China/Taiwan at all.
