Zardari suffers heart attack, may quit: Report
Pakistan
President Asif Ali Zardari, who abruptly left the Pakistan capital
for Dubai, has suffered a minor heart attack and some in the US
government believe he may even resign on account of "ill-health",
a media report said.

Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari flew out to
Dubai over a heart condition despite Pakistan Army doctors
declaring him completely fit, said a media report.
The News International said doctors from the Armed Forces
Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) found Zardari completely fit after
a medical check-up.
However, president's spokesperson Farhatullah Babar denied Zardari
underwent a medical check at AFIC. He said Zardari had been busy
in his official affairs all day long.
Zardari Tuesday evening left for Dubai to visit his children and
also to undergo some medical tests, Pakistan's official news
agency Associated Press of Pakistan had reported.
Though the president's personal physician Col Salman said the
proposed medical tests are of routine nature and are linked to a
previously diagnosed cardiovascular condition, a US magazine
quoted a former US official as saying that parts of the US
government were informed that Zardari had a "minor heart attack"
Monday night. He had flown to Dubai via an air ambulance.
Zardari may have to undergo an angioplasty procedure Wednesday and
may also resign on account of "ill health", the Foreign Policy
reported.
In September, the president had undergone an angiography at a
hospital in Britain where doctors gave him a clean bill of health.
Zardari is under intense pressure ever since a memo to Washington
became public. The memo claimed that he feared a military coup
following the May 2 killing of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in
Abbottabad. Husain Haqqani had to resign as Pakistan's ambassador
to the US over the controversy and he was succeeded by former
minister Sherry Rehman.
