A Palestinian teen-ager with severe intestinal problems stemming from an abdominal wound he sustained in the Israeli-occupied West Bank arrived in Boston, where he will receive treatment, officials said. Mohammed Abu Aker, 17, arrived at Logan International Airport and was admitted to the New England Deaconess Hospital, where his condition will be evaluated, a hospital spokeswoman said.
