It still gripes me the way these things are reported:
The "three Pakistani passengers" were NOT the reason for this diversion. Other people, FA's or whomever - acted on their own mis-placed suspicions. Blame is mis-placed in the way this article - and so many others - are written.
A flight from Los Angeles to London was diverted to Boston early Tuesday because three Pakistani passengers were acting suspiciously, but nothing amiss was found and the three were released after questioning, authorities said.
