Bandaged Berlusconi leaves hospital after attack

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, his face bandaged, left a Milan hospital on Thursday, four days after being attacked by a mentally ill man at a political rally.

The 73-year-old Berlusconi took a few steps out of the San Raffaele Hospital before getting into one of several cars in a waiting motorcade. He waved weakly to photographers and looked grim as he was slowly driven away.

A large bandage covered part of the left side of Berlusconi's face, including his nose, which was broken when the man hurled a souvenir statue of Milan's cathedral at him after Berlusconi had just led a supporters' rally.
