BUENOS AIRES, (Reuters) – A 14-year-old soccer fan  died yesterday after being shot along with two men when their  bus was attacked on the way back to Rosario from a match in  Buenos Aires, local media reported yesterday.

The boy was hit in the head by three bullets in the attack  in the early hours of the morning on the motorway linking the  capital with Rosario, Argentina’s second city, a Rosario police  inspector told local radio.

A man of 28 and another of 42 were also hit but were out of  danger. They were part of a coachload of fans returning from  their team’s first division match against Huracan in the Buenos  Aires district of Parque Patricios on Wednesday night.

Media reported the attack might have been by a rival group  of fans of the same team, an increasingly common occurrence in  Argentine football as hardcore supporters’ groups called  “barras bravas” fight turf wars.

They also reported that witnesses said the weapons used  were machine guns. Police were still searching for suspects.
