Officials say the flight from Manchester, England to Chicago has landed instead in Bangor, Maine.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration says the American Airlines flight was diverted for security reasons. She provided no additional information.

Federal agents are on their way.

A reporter for the Bangor Daily News says the plane is on the tarmac with its engines off, and that the local bomb squad has been called.
