According to an initial reconstruction, the man hijacked the bus with 51 pupils from a middle school in the northern province of Cremona.

The suspect has been named as Ousseynou Sy, 27, a man with a criminal record who is originally from Senegal but has been an Italian citizen since 2004.

He said he wanted to kill himself and "stop the deaths in the Mediterranean," the sources said.

"No one will survive," Sy said after hijacking the vehicle, according to Carabinieri Provincial Commander Luca De Marchis.

After being stopped by police, he got off the bus and set it alight, presumably having poured inflammable liquid inside.

But the Carabinieri managed to get the children out by smashing windows at the back, the sources said. Before being stopped, the suspect had also tried to ram through a road block. Twelve children and two adults were taken to hospital after suffering smoke inhalation, as was Sy, the sources said.

The bus is a write-off.

A teacher who was with the children said that it was not the first time Sy drove a bus with pupils on board.

"We knew him" the teacher said, adding that the hijacker was angry about the government's migrant policy.

"He wanted to get to the runway at (Milan's) Linate (airport)".

A man who hijacked a school bus in Italy and set it alight was a known paedophile who had posted a video on YouTube saying 'Africa - arise', it has emerged.

Ousseynou Sy abducted 51 children, told them 'no one would survive' and set the bus on fire after they escaped in a 40-minute ordeal near Milan yesterday.

The 47-year-old driver, of Senegalese origin, told authorities he wanted to vindicate Europe-bound migrants who have died in the Mediterranean.

Italy's interior ministry said in a statement that the driver had been previously caught driving while drunk and had sexually assaulted a minor.

Claiming he had 'lost three children at sea', Sy had said he 'wanted the whole world talking about his story', police revealed.

He posted a video on Youtube to explain his actions and say 'Africa - arise', directed at family and friends in Crema but also in Senegal.

The driver was said to have planned the hijack over several days, making preparations such as buying a canister of gasoline and restraints on Tuesday.

It's not anyone fault if your child really did die on an attempted unauthorized crossing. No different than when a child dies trying to bring them illegally to the US. You KNOW it's a dangerous journey.
