Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reacted to news of a Senegalese migrant allegedly setting fire to a bus full of schoolkids to protest Italy closing its borders by announcing he'll be stripped of Italian citizenship under the recently passed "Salvini Decree" if convicted of terrorism.

Senegal-born Ousseynou Sy, 47, hijacked a bus full of Italian children on Wednesday and rammed through a police blockade before setting the bus on fire and telling the children inside "no one would survive."

L’uomo, italiano dal 2004 e con precedenti per ubriachezza e violenza sessuale, voleva uccidersi.“La faccio finita, vanno fermate le morti in mare". Nessun ragazzo ferito pic.twitter.com/i1adiwNXJn

"A girl interviewed by Ansa said the man kept repeating that 'people in Africa are dying and that it was the fault of Di Maio and Salvini,'" EuroNews reported Wednesday.

"If there is a charge for terrorism, in case of conviction, thanks to our Security Decree we can revoke his Italian citizenship," Salvini said Thursday on Twitter. "This villain has to pay for everything."

Se ci sarà l'imputazione per terrorismo, in caso di condanna, grazie al nostro Decreto sicurezza potremo revocargli la cittadinanza italiana.
Questo infame deve pagare tutto.https://t.co/a96xPqOGys

Alessandra Bocchi reported Thursday that Sy uploaded a video to YouTube calling for Africans to "rise up" and punish Europe for it's "unacceptable politics."

Update: Italian prosecutors found the attacker, of Senegalese origin, sent a video to his Senegalese friends prior to the attack saying: “Africa rise up” and trying to convince people in Senegal not to come to Europe but to punish Europe for its “unacceptable politics”.
