   A passenger plane has been quarantined at New York's JFK airport after
   reports some of those on board became ill.

   The Emirates flight from Dubai landed in New York Wednesday.

   The airline confirmed 10 passengers fell ill. Earlier media reports
   said as many as 100 passengers were sick.

   Officials say representatives of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
   and Prevention (CDC) were on the scene.
