Ok i found this on MSNBC.com on it.....
BOSTON, Dec. 22 — An American Airlines flight from Paris bound for Miami diverted Saturday for an emergency landing in Boston. Airport officials said the plane landed after its crew discovered and subdued a passenger who appeared to have explosives in his shoes.
Tom Kinton, director of aviation at Boston’s Logan Airport, said at a news conference that the jet’s crew found prevented “something serious” from taking place.
The suspect was carrying a British passport with the name Richard Reed, though federal officials believed the passport “looks bogus,” Kinton said. The suspect appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, officials said, though his real name and background did not appear to be available yet.
Kinton also said the suspect had been detained in Belguim three weeks ago. A reason was not given.
The American Airlines flight was carrying 85 passengers and 12 crew members, one aviation source told NBC News. Two fighter jets escorted it to the ground in Boston.
