video North Korea in mourning for Kim Jong-il
Kim Jong-il, the North Korea dictator, has died due to a heart attack he suffered while traveling on his private train. The former leader of the reclusive kingdom was highly eccentric and pursued a cult of personality around himself during his reign that started in 1994. During his time as leader of North Korea, the country underwent a massive famine that resulted in perhaps millions of deaths and the detonation of a nuclear bomb.
