Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bus Fire in Switzerland Kills Six as Police Investigate Possible Deliberate Attack

Caption: Bus Fire in Switzerland Kills Six as Police Investigate Possible Deliberate Attack. At least six people have died and several others were injured after a bus caught fire in western Switzerland, in an incident police say may have been deliberate. The fire broke out Tuesday evening on a bus traveling through the town of Kerzers, about 20 kilometers west of the Swiss capital, Bern. Authorities say five people were injured, including three who were seriously hurt and taken to hospital. Police believe the fire may have been a man-made act and are investigating reports that someone may have poured fuel on themselves before the blaze started. However, officials say it is still too early to determine the exact cause or whether the incident is linked to terrorism. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and launched rescue operations, while prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the deadly fire.
