Fortunately, it appears no children were hurt, but he did threaten to kill all of them. Milan anti-terrorism prosecutor Alberto Nobili told German news agency DPA that the man’s motives were unclear, but prosecutors were not ruling out terrorism. The hijacker had a criminal history for, among other things, sexual harassment of a young girl. He received a one-year suspended prison term in 2018 for sexually harassing 17-year-old girl and yet he was driving a school bus.
He kidnapped the children and torched the bus because he opposed Italy’s migrant policies.
All of the children were rescued when the bus crashed following a police chase, allowing officers to force open the back door and help students off the bus, as the driver threatened martyrdom. The man ordered a teacher to tie the children’s hands with plastic ties but the teacher only loosely attached the ties to four or five of them so that they could easily free themselves afterwards, local sources said according to Italian news agency ANSA.

We were all very scared,” said one boy who was interviewed anonymously by La Repubblica newspaper. “He tied us all up and seized all mobile phones so that we could not call the police.”
“No-one will survive,” bus driver Oussenyou Sy told the scared middle schoolchildren, after threatening them with a knife and collecting their mobile phones; he had poured gas inside the school bus in advance.
He also sent a video to friends in Italy and Senegal indicating plans with the message, “Africa, Rise up,” they said.
“One of the telephones, belonging to a classmate, fell to the ground, so I pulled off the handcuffs, hurting myself a bit, and went and picked it up. We called the Carabinieri and the police.”
Authorities said that an adult called an emergency operator, while one of the students called a parent, and they alerted authorities, who set up roadblocks. The bus was intercepted on the outskirts of Milan by three Carabinieri vehicles, which were able to force it into the guardrail, De Marchis said.
“While two officers kept the driver busy – he took a lighter and threatened to set fire to the vehicle with a gasoline canister on board – the others forced open the back door, breaking two windows,” De Marchis said. While the evacuation was still underway, the driver started the blaze.
De Marchis credited the officers’ “swiftness and courage,” for getting out all the children and their teachers “with no tragic consequences.”
Hijacker douses PACKED school bus in petrol and TORCHES it – ‘No one getting out ALIVE’
A 47-year-old man was arrested in Milan after highjacking a school bus with 51 children on board and setting it on fire.
By Alessandra Scotto di Santolo, The Express, Mar 20, 2019
The man hijacked the school bus with 51 children on board as he was driving them back to school from a sporting event. He reportedly shouted to the children that he wanted to kill himself in protest to Italian migration policy in the Mediterranean. The driver allegedly told the schoolchildren he was going to take them to Linate Airport as he shouted: “No one is going to get out of here alive”.
One of the children called his parents to alert the police.
Once the police were able to track the bus down on the motorway, in an attempt to sidetrack police cars he came to a stop and covered the bus with petrol to then set it on fire.
The 47-years-old man, originally from Senegal, was immediately arrested by the police at the scene.
Luca De Marchis, provincial commander of the Carabinieri in Milan said, explained that “the man was not armed” and “did not tie the kids”.

The school bus after the fire (Image: EPA)None of the children was seriously harmed but 12 were taken to hospital for minor burns and inhalation of fumes.
The Police helped the schoolchildren escape by smashing the back window whilst the man was still torching the bus.
As explained by Major Giancarlo Carraro, commander of the Compagnia di Crema, the kids will be assisted by psychologists.
Twelve children and two adults were taken to the hospital.
Despite being taken to a hospital the Emergency Services claimed no one is seriously injured.
Firefighter and paramedics on the scene (Image: EPA)Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reacted to the news: “A Senegalese with Italian citizenship driving a school bus, with precedents for drunk driving and sexual abuse, hijacked the vehicle and finally set it on fire.
“It happened in the province of Milan. The man was arrested. Now the law enforcement agencies are searching his home.
“I want to understand: why did a person with similar precedents was driving a bus to transport children?”

They all have to be deported. Once and for all. Stalin would do it in 24 hrs, like he did in Soviet Union with Tatars, Chechen, Lithuanians, Latvians,Western Ukrainians who collaborated with Nazis. Please don’t consider me as Stalin’s fan. But in case of emergency the leaders of the countries should grow a pair and fix their own “mistakes” (I would rather call if crimes against their own states)

Usually intelligent people can read between the lines. I hate Stalin, socialism, commies and their collaborationists. I am their victim and my family as well. All my young years I’ve been suffering from the terrible antisemitism in Soviet Union in the government level. I’ve emigrated from the former Soviet Union 31 yrs ago after 8 long years being a “Refusenic”. After the terrible 8 yrs of the persecution from the Soviets and fighting for my basic right to emigrate from the Evil Empire. I’ve indicated in my comment that I’m not a fan of Stalin.Many members of my family were murdered in Holocaust and Stalin was getting ready to deport Jews from the Central regions of USSR to Siberia in the beginning of 50’s.It’s dumb to think that I’m missing Stalin. For the “specially gifted” – please read my comment again. It’s self-explaining. Stalin hopefully keep rotting in hell. Best regards. Shalom

“Usually intelligent people can read between the lines”
Very true and you’re projecting. The methods of Stalin, while odious to you, are exactly what you just said leadership should do. Only a dictator can overrule the law and do what he wants. So you want them to just deport in 24 hours, just like old Uncle Joe would, do you? I’ll repeat; be careful what you ask for, even the little bit that might seem the pragmatic solution…

What’s the alternative to her suggestion? A muslum state in everything but name? Sharia’ law being enforced under other auspices (e.g. Dearbornistan, Michigan)? You know what’s better than ANY islamic “republic”? A secular military dictatorship. You might as well realize now the f’ing muslums and their useful tools will be eliminating freedom and liberty once they gain power anyway.

The best and brightest from Africa and the Mideast, all doctors, lawyers, scientists and engineers. Are you feeling culturally enriched yet?
No? Don’t worry, there are millions more just like him about to turn your daily routine into a life and death struggle all thanks to Merkel, the EU and migrant-loving traitors.
But let’s blame those Islamophobes, it’s all their fault. If only they kept their mouths shut, these people wouldn’t sexually assault your children or carry out terrorist attacks.
I’m shocked they even reported on the story and told us his name. Usually you don’t hear about such things or it’s quickly covered up.
As Douglas Murray aptly stated at one point on the issue of Islam and migration from africa/mideast, we’re all forced to move at the speed of the slowest (dumbest) kid in the class (Leftists).
Unfortunately for us, they still don’t see the pattern, not after 35,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11. What we need to realize is that they’ll never learn, they need to be removed from office and preferably jailed for what they’ve done.

These terrorists play the same sad song. This Italy action was in reverse to rile the Islamic base, but instead of a white supremist base ( like Anders Brevik, Steven Paddock and Tarrant ) all connected.
Las Vegas and NZ had red flags..
#1. Both shootings were to demand gun confiscation and the politicians agree and are happy for the excuse to disarm the populace.
#2. Both shooters used untraceable cryptocurrency when visiting a foreign country to hide their whereabouts for extended periods.
#3 Both Shooters visited Islamic and/or Communist countries and returned to make multiple gun purchases. ( Tarrant N Korea and Pakistan, Paddock Indonesia ) Red flag..
New Zealand also should add that Tarrant was an Australian citizen whereas Anders Brevik and Paddock were native born, Breviks action was against the political elite who succumbed to Islamic pressure to enact laws against insulting Islam…
This created a pressure cooker of censorship that creates violent revolutionaries ..
Wherever free speech is inhibited violent action becomes inevitable . Islam seeks to demand an end to free speech.

None of the mainstream rags report that he was Muslim, just that he was Senegalese and a whacko to presumably paint what he did as having nothing to do with Islam. To think that he would have taken out as many lives as in the New Zealand mosque were it not for the quick thinking of the cops.

I agree with your first sentence, but as for the rest the fat lady has not sung yet. Let me explain from an earlier post: The rules and customs of Western jurisprudence cannot be applied to these monsters. We have to be proactive and return them to their hellholes . As for the Europeans the anger is growing and I’m afraid the Muslims will soon have a short window of opportunity to return, convert, or be annihilated. BREXIT was 90% about the invasion of alien culture into the UK,and its frustration by the elites is giving rise to an anger that Britain has not seen since the rise of Cromwell. France has already exploded and I expect the Place de la Concorde will be a busy place once again. Hungary, Italy, and Poland have already spoken,and Germany will bend to whatever wind blows the fiercest.

Great comment. I cannot believe that New Zealand has thousands of Muslims and a Prime Minister who like May bends over backwards to support this medieval trash, going so far as to cover her head and state “that we are all one” while disarming the country’s citizens. How stupid are these non Muslims supporting a memorial with flowers and cards for people who should not even be in the country. They are there to take over and this imbecile of a Prime Minister cannot seem to comprehend how evil this cult is. Does she not read the news about all this filth raping and murdering non Muslims in the west and elsewhere.

There was no mention in the MSM, those who reported this terrorist attack; for reasons of their chosen biases. Islam, Jihad is not the enemy of humanity, it is the right of center folks; those daring to criticize this Cult of Death. Every MSM news source, print or electronic castigates, reports fake-news that it is those of us daring to call a Muslim a Jihadi the enemy. By the end the dust settles and the Caliphate is completed, those of the a-kissing MSM will pay the ultimate price for their biases, hatred of the America Republic and Western culture, generally. I may no be around to witness this grand finale but the price of admission will be worth it.

“I’m left and I see what a threat Islam is.”
Maybe you’re not as “Left” as you think you are. The “Left” is supposed to be ideologically disciplined and True Leftists only think and say and do that which their political leaders tell them to.
Unlike us Right Wingers, who, for better or for worse, think and say and do whatever the hell we think is good and true and right. Sure, us Right Wingers can be influenced and persuaded and, yes, tricked and fooled, but our attitude is one of taking personal responsibility for our own opinions, in general.

Maybe I should just stop labeling myself, lol.
My beliefs are that we are going crazy from being separate from Nature.
I think our society is shallow and materialistic, and way too much empathizes is placed out happiness on outside forces, rather than inner directed, thoughtful spirituality.
I am truly appalled at how many people are willing to shut down and no platform people who have different views.
I think Islam is the biggest threat to civilization right now, I’m not kidding.

To me all cultures are not equal….The west has more freedom more opportunities and treats both sexes more equal and outlawed slavery….The muslim culture…not so much. Since they cannot defeat the West militarily they will try to do it thru immigration, legal and illegal. They will use the welfare system against the kind citizens….more than one wife, higher average child birth, all sorts of demands little to no gratitude. The weak kneed politician will plead the immigrant/refugee’s plight…the immigrants will demand more and more stuff and always refuse to assimilate. Appeasement never works. Let the middle east solve its own refugee/.immigrant problem, since they are so proud of their land and people.. I am tired of spending our folks blood and treasure while the ME countries do nothing…

Crack pot idea, immigrant school bus driver protests against Italy’s immigration policy by abducting a school bus load of school children, is attempting to burn them all alive except they manage to call their parents or the police, and then he sets school bus on fire.
Of course he would be arrested.
So what will Italians think now?
I’m not sure they’re going to continue putting their children on the school bus.
Will he be deported, or imprisoned?

Now in Italy the boy is considered ” A Hero”. They want to see him in the Police Dept of Italy. That Senegalese man was a psychic. He wants freedom of movement of the Africans from Africa to Europe.
