Provided above is a copy of what is said to be Benazir Bhutto’s handwritten will. Mark Siegel, Bhutto’s long-time confidante and DC lobbyist, tells Newsweek, “I know her style….She wrote this document.”

Arif Nizami, editor of The Nation, wrote three weeks ago:

“So far as the mini-controversy about the authenticity of Ms Bhutto’s will is concerned, it is genuine, since I have seen and read the one-page document in her handwriting and duly signed by her on October 16 2007, two days prior to her fateful departure for her homeland.”
