The plane was headed to Chicago from Boston's Logan airport. Report: 2 escorted off Boston plane

Officials in Boston are taking no chances, a day after the tragedy at the Boston Marathon — including on flights out of nearby Logan Airport.

A plane headed to Chicago was brought back to the gate at Logan Airport, after some passengers — who also participated in the marathon — expressed concern over two men, who were apparently not sitting next to each other but were speaking in Arabic, Fox 25 reports. The men were escorted off the plane.

The spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey told Bloomberg via email that the Port Authority Emergency Services Unit and the New York City Police Department bomb squad were responding to the scene. No further details were available.
