North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died, state-run TV 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. Kim Jong-il was 69 and believed to have suffered ill health
for many years.

The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says his death will cause huge shock waves
across North Korea.

His son Kim Jong-un has been suggested as a likely successor although nothing
has yet been announced in the highly secretive state.

to be honest, i would rather have a 69 year old dictator who has been in charge for years, rather than a 28 year old dictator who thinks he needs to prove himself to his people and to the world.
