North Korea marked the end of a three-year mourning period
for the late leader Kim Jong Il on Wednesday, opening the way for his son, Kim
Jong Un, to put a more personal stamp on the way the country is run.
The anniversary of Kim Jong Il’s death three years ago was
observed by sirens ringing out across the country at noon. Trains, ships and
cars sounded their horns and masses of North Koreans fell silent for three
minutes as they bowed toward the mausoleum in Pyongyang where Kim Jong Il and
his father, “eternal president” Kim Il Sung, lie in state.
