Flight to America diverted

AN ALITALIA jet en route from Milan to Boston was diverted yesterday because the name of a passenger on board matched one on the US government’s no-fly list.

It was the second time in less than a week that a Boston-bound flight was diverted to Bangor, Maine.

On Thursday, an Air France flight from Paris landed there because someone on board had the same name and a birth date nearly the same as a person on the list of suspected terrorists.
