kim jong-il DEAD

North Korea's Dear Leader died on December 17, 2011 according to KCNA, North Korea's news network.
kim jong il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, passed away from a great mental and physical strain at 08:30 December 17, 2011, on train during a field guidance tour.
I'm sure this news is going around everywhere right now and I'm sure everybody has been keeping up with it. There are a lot of thoughts going on around this by many experts in Korean peninsula. I think I will need more time to let this situation unfold further before I can say anything or predict what I think is going to happen with Korean peninsula.

In the meantime, I decided to go to different news sources and capture front page headlines regarding the death of kim jong il.
