Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari was discharged from a hospital in Dubai late Wednesday, his spokesman said. Pakistan''s Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar said Zardari had moved to his residence in Dubai.
President Zardari was admitted last week to have treatment for a heart condition, prompting speculation over his health.

His Dubai trip led to rumors, denied by officials, that he might resign. Zardari''s office has declined to say when he will return to Pakistan. A statement said that all tests carried out on him had produced results "within normal range".

It said he had been advised to rest at home - but did not say whether that would be in Pakistan or Dubai, where Zardari''s family is known to have property.

Pakistan''s civilian government has been under pressure in recent weeks after a scandal over a leaked memo in which officials allegedly sought US help against a possible military coup earlier this year.
