North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer according to South Korea's YTN TV network on Monday.
The health status of Kim Jong Il was a secret that his government wanted to keep from the world.
Pancreatic cancer is the type of cancer that has poor prognosis, and is the leading cause of death from other kind of cancers. This is because it spreads fast and when i'ts detected the cancer has already advanced.
Now the question is, what would happen to North Korea with the passing of Kim Jong Il? Would it bring internal conflicts? Would his youngest son succeed him and take control of the country?
Only time will tell.
