Bilawal Bhutto: the birth of a political star

So just who is Bilawal Bhutto, the teenager who has assumed the leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) following the assassination of his mother, Benazir Bhutto?
Described by friends as studious and devoted to his mother, he has no political experience at all. Indeed, at 19, Bilawal is six years too young to stand for Pakistan's parliament, so is planning to complete his degree at Oxford University before entering politics full-time.
Bilawal is studying at Christ Church, also attended by his grandfather, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who founded the PPP. His mother was at Lady Margaret Hall and was president of the Oxford Union.
Bilawal - the name means 'one without equal' - grew up in London and Dubai, where Benazir Bhutto spent her self-imposed exile. During this time Bilawal's father, Asif Ali Zardari - known as 'Mr Ten Per Cent' due to his alleged corruption - was in jail in Pakistan.
"I have gone through lots of things and he wasn't there," Bilawal has said of his father. "At the time when we needed him, he was taken away. We were denied a normal life."
Victoria Schofield, who was a close friend of Benazir Bhutto, says Bilawal may have lost touch with the country of his birth. "He has barely been to Pakistan, he would have been 11 when he left. He does speak Urdu and Arabic but English is his first language, that was what was spoken in the home."
Bilawal's greatest impact on politics took place before he was even born. In 1988 Pakistan's dictator General Zia had scheduled elections for November, as he had heard Benazir Bhutto was expecting to give birth then and would not be able to campaign. But Bhutto, knowing her medical records would be stolen, had altered the files to outwit the general. Bilawal was born in September and Bhutto went on to win the election.
