Angry by the death of the displaced persons who died in the Mediterranean Sea, a driver set fire to a school bus filled with children. It was a mistake that the children were taken out of the bus before being caught in flames. Police said that the driver is Italian of Senegal origin.
Referring to the driver arrested by the police, spokesman Marco Pamieri said, "He was threatening the massacre while demanding to stop the deaths in the sea." In a video running on the Italian news website, the driver was showing that the driver was hit by cars on the provincial highway before handing over the bus to the fire.
The children were trying to get out of the bus and shouting and crawling. A child told the media that the driver threatened to burn them by pouring petrol on them. A group informed the police about the matter. After this, the police reached the spot and the children were able to escape from the bus.
