To "avenge the deaths at sea"


-Il Giornale


Today, a Senegalese school bus driver took 51 school chidlren hostage and tried to burn them alive in the bus in Milan. The driver tied some of the children to their seats and told them he was avenging the actions of Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio in preventing African migrants from entering Italy, which has resulting in people dying at sea. It is not clear if this is directly linked to the on-going story of 49 migrants who have been prevented from entering Italy aboard an Italian NGO ship at Lampedusa. The children all managed to escape and the driver is in custody.

Il Giornale reports that the suspect, Ousseynou Sy, had previous arrests for drunk driving and sexual abuse of minors.
