Narrative:

We were flying a CAT ii approach to runway 4R boston. Contacted tower at miltt and were cleared to land runway 4R. Runway approach lights became visible at approximately 150 ft. The captain took control of the aircraft. The runway came into view just below 100 ft as did a twin engine cessna nose crossing our runway. After reviewing airport diagram thought to be taxiway east. Immediately initiated manual go around. Copilot continued to make call. Tower told us to go around. Made another CAT ii approach, landed uneventfully. After we parked at gate tower requested captain to call.
