Default BA Flight to JFK returns to LHR

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4169655.stm

A British Airways flight returned back to LHR, three
hours after take-off because one of the passengers
appeared to be on the US No-Fly list.

Well, at least this time they didn't wait until Canada...

In this BBC story though it is said that "... after a
US request that the man should not be allowed to land",
and later on "...BA took the decision to return to
Heathrow Airport".

Was it really up to BA? Could they have just continued
on to JFK, landed normally and let the US authorities
take care of the passenger?
