A presidential official said Zardari, who spent more than a week in a Dubai hospital for treatment last month, returned in the early hours of Friday after a brief visit to attend a wedding.
"The President arrived at 5:00 am after attending a wedding in Dubai and he is in Islamabad now," Farhatullah Babar, Zardari's spokesman told AFP.
The one-day trip came after a confrontation between Pakistan's civilian leaders and the military over a probe into the government's role in a scandal centred on a mysterious memo that sought US help in curbing the army's power.

So he dropped off his buddy Hussain Haqqani at Dubai. That was the whole purpose of this tax-payers paid Dubai yatra. Good Mr. President! you really love this country.
@Logistics: lol...ur so naive.
Okay, the ones who are objecting President's dubai trip for attending a wedding. I ASK YOU ALL, what difference would it have made if President was in Pakistan? I mean, SERIOUSLY.
He is "Yaroon ka yaar" should have been a close friend- He wont run, apart from the whole tension in the country. He wouldn’t run from the country- that’s the difference between him and the rest- Lets say that that he has money In Swiss accounts- but who would pay his 11 years which he served in the jail? - not favoring him or the government. But one has to accept the fact that non of the current politicans have been imprisoned for so long.
Apart from everything he is the MAN. Comparinng him with the rest of the current politicans.
O Yeah!!
I am disappointed that our awami political leaders go overseas for routine medical treatment?.
Once this stops,maybe they will start focusing on better medical care for the citizens in Pakistan
A smiling President is back from Dubai. Hope he doesnt have to plan another trip after 16th Jan.
I wonder why that wedding was so important?
brave and briliant like bhutto and benazir!
Who pays for these private visits? If we do then why is there no law against it?
