Vienna - Bosnian war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic travelled to Austria posing as a faith healer for local Serbs while evading capture, newspapers reported Friday.
Using the alias Pera, Karadzic treated several people in the Austrian capital Vienna, which has a large Serbian emigre community, the Kurier daily said.
Austrian security officials are investigating the reports, a spokesman for Austria's Interior Ministry said.
An unnamed woman in Vienna who was treated by Karadzic was quoted by Kurier as saying that she had long sought to have a child with her husband when an aunt told her about Pera and his healing powers.
