    From BBC

    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. BBC News - N Korean leader Kim Jong-il dies
