Texas teen arrested for homemade clock to move to Qatar"
A 14-year-old Muslim boy who was arrested after a homemade clock he brought to school was mistaken for a possible bomb will be moving with his family to the Middle East so he can attend school there, his family said.
Ahmed Mohamed's family released a statement Tuesday saying they had accepted a foundation's offer to pay for his high school and college in Doha, Qatar. He recently visited the country as part of a whirlwind month that included a Monday stop at the White House and an appearance Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol.
"We are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn, and all of them being accepted by that country," Ahmed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told The Dallas Morning News before boarding an airplane from Washington back home to Texas on Tuesday.
The main stream press reporting of this story continues to be sloppy.

This is a strange thing to brag about - like giving yourself a wedgie.

Our mainstream press isn't much better than Mary Mapes and Dan Rather.
Don't forget my helicopter was hit Brian Williams.
Did he get an athletic scholarship to the suicide squad?
Watch out for that screen door.

"Except for Ahmed's sisters- they will be burkaed up and given to old men as brides"
Why are they still calling it a clock? It did not tell time. It was a timer, it counted down to a zero hour alarm.
Jim in St Louis ... a better question, why is anyone still alleging this kid built a "home made" clock? He did no such thing...he "invented" nothing...he disassembled a ready made and concocted the device in that box from the parts reconnected. I guess the media has succeeded in another hoax, likely one posed by the kid's father originally...15 minutes of fame and all that. He & ole daddy will fit right in in Qatar with their extensive space rocket & exploration programs and all that other technical stuff. Bye bye phony.
