A South Korean military vehicle drives past barricades at the military check point, near the Demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating South and North Korea on December 20, 2011 in Paju, South Korea. Kim Jong Il, aged 69, died Saturday after reportedly suffering a heart attack. Reports claim mourners will be permitted to view the body between December 20 – 27, with a state funeral to be held on December 28. Il will be succeeded by his third son, Kim Jon Un. The death of the North Korean leader has brought uncertainty across the region both in terms of Asian financial markets, which fell overnight and militarily with the knowledge that North Korea has a nuclear progromme.
