DUBAI: US magazine claimed that President Asif Ali Zardari had been feeling increased pressure over the Memogate scandal.

Citing former US official, American magazine Foreign Policy reported US government was informed that Zardari had a 'minor heart attack' on Monday night and flew to Dubai via air ambulance on Tuesday.
According to the US magazine, Zardari may have angioplasty on Wednesday and may also resign on account of 'ill health.'
