 BOSTON—A flight from Germany to Washington has been diverted to Boston because a passenger complained of flu-like symptoms.     Airport
spokesman Phil Orlandella says United Airlines Flight 903 was being
diverted Friday afternoon after a 53-year-old female passenger told
flight attendants about her symptoms. 
He says the flight from
Munich had 245 passengers and six crew members. The flight had been
scheduled to land at Washington Dulles International Airport later
Friday. 
It isn't yet clear what caused the woman's symptoms or whether she might be suffering from swine flu.
