This was reported by North Korean state television early today. The North Korean media is reporting that Kim Jong Il died on Saturday during a train ride. The youngest of his three sons, Kim Jong Eun, will succeed him.<\/p>\n<p>The article in the Wall Street Journal reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>South Korean shares tumbled along with other Asian markets on concerns about potential instability in the region.

The\u00a0concern that seems to come up in most of the articles written today on the death of Kim Jong Il is the fact that North Korea has nuclear weapons. The unknown fact is\u00a0who has control of those weapons and whether or not this change in leadership will mean that North Korea will\u00a0become an aggressor in that area of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=d934c415-c546-4723-bc07-b77fada5b3ea\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wall Street Journal\u00a0is reporting today that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is dead.
