Plane Diverted to Logan/Explosive found on Passenge

[Fallon]

BOSTON -- A Paris to Miami flight was diverted to Boston's
Logan International Airport on Saturday afternoon after a passenger
wearing shoes containing an "improvised explosive" attempted to
ignite his shoes.

"I'm told the flight attendant was drawn to him by the smell of
sulphur from a lit match, and then challegned him as to what he was
doing," said Thomas Kinton, interim executive director of the
Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs the airport.

Kinton said that the shoes contained "improvised explosives"
capable of doing damage.

Broadcast reports said that the passengers and crew on the
American Airlines flight subdued the passenger, who became violent
when confronted.

The intevention on the flight "appeared to have prevented
something very serious from occuring," Kinton said.
