South Korean soldiers patrol around a barbed-wire fence, near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) which separates the two Koreas in Paju, about 50 km (32 miles) north of Seoul, December 26, 2011. The widow of former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, the author of a now-jettisoned engagement policy with North Korea, crossed the fortified land border between the two sides on Monday to pay her respects to deceased dictator Kim Jong-il.
