At least fifteen people working at Boston's Logan International Airport have been arrested on charges of providing false identification information to gain employment.

The employees, some of them suspected illegal immigrants, worked for private companies and not for the actual airport. Logan was the departure point for the two hijacked planes that crashed into New York's World Trade Center during the September 11 terrorist attacks.

However, in announcing the arrests Wednesday, U.S. authorities said none of the workers were suspected of terrorist activities.
