"U.S. Tells Air France Plane Headed for Chicago to Return to Paris"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CHICAGO (AP) -- An Air France flight en route to O'Hare International Airport was forced to return to Paris Friday after one of its passengers showed up on the federal no-fly list.

More than two hours after Flight AF050 departed from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport - and before it had entered U.S. airspace - it was ordered to return to Paris, authorities said.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found the passenger's name while reviewing the flight manifest against the no-fly list, which they do for all international flights, said Lara Uselding, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration.

People on the no-fly list are not allowed to board U.S.-bound flights.

Four people were taken off the plane, the flight's captain, Dominique Mure, told the Chicago Tribune. All of them were later released by French officials, but none re-boarded the plane, he said."
