NEW YORK, Nov 1: Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto has left for Dubai after a three-week stay in New York where she was visiting her husband Asif Ali Zardari, a source close to Ms Bhutto said.

Mr Zardari is currently under rehabilitation following a procedure at a hospital here wherein a stent was placed in one of his arteries. He decided to stay in New York until he was given clean bill of health by doctors.

Sources said that Ms Bhutto and Mr Zardari had also been trying to sort out differences which had emerged after the former’s statement at a Swiss court last month.

Testifying in a Geneva court in a money-laundering case, Ms Bhutto disassociated herself from the businesses of her family, including that of her husband, mother and brother-in-law.

When asked about the money deposited in Swiss banks in the names of Nusrat Bhutto, Mr Zardari and Nasir Hussain, Ms Bhutto said she was unaware of the bank accounts and had nothing to do with her family members’ business.
