N. Korea regrets death of S. Korea tourist

This reminds me of the sad story with the downing of the S. Korean B-747. N. Korea is somewhat close to the CCCP of early 70-s, with many things happening under the surface (like most Syniju residents watching S. Korean soap operas - and paying the police little bribes to keep it quiet).

All my sympathies with the victim and let's hope, the road to re-unification will be not as rocky as what happened with CCCP.

BTW: few know, but the REAL and only legal name of the N. Korean leader as recorded in his birth certificate is... Юрий Ирсенович Ким. He was born in the Soviet Union. Not that anyone is proud about it.
