Flight Evacuated After Crew Reports Two Passengers Behaving Suspiciously (UPDATE: Laura Ingraham Tweeted Details About the Incident)

American Airlines Flight 2124 was readying for a flight to Boston, but instead all passengers exited the plane and a K-9 unit swept the aircraft, the station said.

Those two passengers were questioned by police and released; the airline stated they would be "re-accomodated on a later flight."

UPDATE 1:03 a.m. Monday ET: Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham posted a series of tweets Sunday describing the Flight 2124 incident.

It wasn't clear if she was a passenger and giving a first-hand account or if she was receiving information from someone else; some of Ingraham's tweets were signed "L.I." — indicating she wrote them — and some weren't. Two tweets incorrectly noted the flight was from Boston to Washington.

Most notable among Ingraham's tweets was her description of the passengers who raised the crew's suspicions: "two Middle Eastern-looking men ... in their 20s, green passports ..."

Here are Ingraham's tweets about the flight from start to finish:

When one person called Ingraham "paranoid, racist and obnoxious" for her tweets, she shot back:
