| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] At least six people have been killed and five more injured after a man reportedly doused himself in petrol and set himself on fire inside a bus. The horror unfolded in the town of Kerzers in western Switzerland at around 6.25pm on Tuesday when a coach carrying passengers suddenly caught fire. Eyewitnesses alleged a man set himself alight inside the vehicle moments before the blaze erupted, although police have not confirmed these claims. Videos shared on social media show flames several metres high rapidly engulfing the bus, which belonged to the postal service. Separate images from after the incident show the vehicle having been completely gutted by the inferno. In one clip obtained by local media, an eyewitness is asked what happened. 'A man set himself on fire inside,' he replies in Albanian. 'He poured gasoline and set himself on fire!' Police have said they are treating the fire as 'man made' but have so far refused to disclose whether it is terror related. Three of the five injured people were taken to the hospital, while the other two were treated at the scene. It remains unclear whether the suspect is among the dead or the wounded. |
