Austria: Former Captive Leaves Hospital (New York Times)


Natascha Kampusch, the schoolgirl held captive in a cellar for eight years before she escaped last month, has left the Vienna hospital where she had been staying since her escape and moved into her own apartment. ?She is starting a new life in freedom,? said her lawyer, Gerald Ganzger. Ms. Kampusch, 18, will continue to have counseling.
