There's nothing on CNN, Reuters, or AP... but Bloomberg has an article too

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...r-leader-dictator-dead-at-70-yonhap-says.html

Kim Jong Il, the second-generation North Korean dictator who defied global condemnation to build nuclear weapons while his people starved, has died, Yonhap News reported. He was 70.

The news came in a radio broadcast at noon local time, Yonhap reported, citing North Korea’s official media. Kim probably had a stroke in August 2008 and may have also contracted pancreatic cancer, according to South Korean news reports.
