"North Koreans are in mourning - with many of them breaking down in tears on the streets - after the death of their diminutive dictator.
Kim Jong Il, 69, died while on a train of a 'heart ailment' on Saturday - due to a 'great mental and physical strain' during a 'high intensity field inspection.'
The news has prompted South Korea and Japan to put their militaries on 'high alert' - with the U.S. saying it could postpone decisions on re-engaging North Korea in nuclear talks and providing it with food aid.
Observers also fear a behind-the-scenes power struggle, or nuclear instability, between the country's military and politicians - despite the announcement his third son Kim Jong Un is to be his successor."
