But there are questions being raised about its authenticity.

Iraq's National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie produced the document this morning in Baghdad, saying it was found on a computer disk in Zarqawi's pants.

"We have confiscated a very important document," he said.

Iraqi officials said there was no question of the document's authenticity.

"Well, if I find something in your pockets, then that's authentic, isn't it?" al-Rubaie said.

But U.S. officials said the document was not, in fact, found on or near Zarqawi's body but in a raid three weeks earlier on other targets.

"But as far an analysis, we haven't done it yet," U.S. Major General William Caldwell said.
