Possibly a significant development in Pakistan...

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari suffers heart attack, may quit

7 Dec, 2011, 10.57AM IST, IANS

WASHINGTON: 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.

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, the Foreign Policy 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 media report said.

The former US government official told the website that Zardari was "incoherent" when President Barack Obama spoke with him regarding Nov 26 NATO's killing of two dozen Pakistani soldiers.
