The incident comes among heightened fears over security following six simultaneous attacks on Paris last Friday by Islamic State (ISIS) fanatics who shot dead 129 people and injured more than 350, some who are still battling for their lives. The FBI confirmed it was responding to the incident but Massachusetts police spokesman David Procopio said there was "no indication of any terrorism" tied to her actions. Police said they were interviewing the suspect and other passengers and the woman "will most likely" face charges.
