State Department warns Americans going to North Korea to make funeral arrangements and draft a will first

The US State Department has warned Americans that they may be asking for a death wish if they decide to travel to North Korea.

The agency published on its website that those who wish to visit the regime of Kim Jong-un shouldprepare for the worst, including drafting a will and making funeral and property arrangements with family and friends.

North Korea is classified as a 'Level 4 - Do Not Travel' country.

Other countries listed as level-four high-risk areas include Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Libya, Mali, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
