...outwardly it's business as usual for North Korea, internally, things have changed. Analysts say Kim is being aided in running the country by his most trusted deputy, his brother-in-law Chang Sung Taek, the husband of Kim's younger sister Kim Kyong Hui. Chang, 63, oversees North Korea's State Security Agency, which includes the regime's notoriously brutal secret police.

The incident bore eerie similarities to a killing spree that left nine dead at another Finnish school last November. In both cases, the perpetrator posted ominous videos on YouTube shortly before the attack. The Kauhajoki killer, identified as Matti Juhani Saari (below), had been interviewed by police in connection with...
