A bus caught fire in western Switzerland on Tuesday killing at least six people and injuring five others. Fribourg police authorities told that "the police were currently treating the fire as a man-made incident, and even a deliberate act," without giving further details.

In a statement, they said a criminal investigation had been opened by public prosecutors to determine the exact circumstances of the tragedy. Police said recovery and security operations were ongoing and appealed to the public to stay away from the area.
