Pakistan
president Asif Ali Zardari was discharged from a Dubai hospital on
Wednesday night, the official Associated Press of Pakistan (APP)
announced.
Quoting the presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar,
the agency said that Zardari had moved to his Dubai residence from the
American hospital.
"President Asif Ali Zardari has been discharged
from hospital and moved to his residence in Dubai," the agency quoted
Babar as saying.
Earlier, Babar had said that the president would
be discharged from the hospital on Thursday after spending more than a
week there but would remain in the Gulf emirate to rest.
The
56-year-old Zardari flew to the United Arab Emirates last Tuesday after
falling ill in the midst of a major scandal over alleged attempts by a
close aide to seek US help to limit the power of Pakistan's military.
Zardari, who has a long-standing heart condition, was being treated at the American Hospital in Dubai.
He is facing a major scandal over the extent to which he was involved in any attempts to rein in the military.
