Just read on BBC news that a Senagal born Italian citizen bus driver,held all the kids in his school bus hostage.He tied some up at knifepoint and set light to the bus.Carabinieri rescued them.This bloke had previous convictions for assault and drink driving.How is this possible or is it fake news,but it was on the BBC.

Reported by DW as well. However not a lot of interest elsewhere.

Strange,50 schoolkids nearly burnt alive in potential terrorist attack.Is that a unsignificant headline.

Seems to be. Worrying - & a little bizarre. I posted about this yesterday on another thread and the only response so far was an article about the mistreatment of migrants in Italy.

It was on all the new bulletins and in all the papers. And again today.

It was eventually covered yesterday afternoon by BBC World News.

Saw it all over the Italian news and newspapers. An Egyptian boy is being praised for freeing himself from the cable ties and using his hidden mobile phone to call 112 and raise the alarm. His father is now asking that his son be granted Italian citizenship.

The worst thing is how did he get the job with dd and assault convictions.To work anywhere near kids in the UK you have to have a cr check.
