The father of a 13-year-old
Egyptian boy who phoned police aboard a school bus hijacked and
later torched by a Senegalese bus driver angry at kids' migrant
deaths on Thursday said he would like to see his son get Italian
citizenship.
"My son did his duty, it would be nice if he could now get
Italian citizenship," said Khalid Shehata, father of Ramy, who
managed to hide his cellphone and make the first call to
emergency services on board the terror bus near Milan Wednesday.
"We're Egyptians, I arrived in Italy in 2001, my son was born
here in 2005 but we're still waiting for the official document.
We would really like to stay in this country."
