DALLAS (AP) — 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 statement said the family has been "overwhelmed by the many offers of support" since Ahmed's arrest on Sept. 14 at his school in Irving, a Dallas suburb. The family said it accepted an offer from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development to join its Young Innovators Program.

Even though everyone can see right through it.

The jokes I'm sure will write themselves.
Son of Radical Islamist to Move from Texas to Qatar After Revelations of Fraudulent “Invention” Designed to Invoke Fear and Lawsuits
My guess is a wooden box.
It’s come out that it wasn’t a “homemade clock” after all, he just too the guts of an existing clock out and put them in a case.
I wonder if the family realizes this means the kids are closing the door on becoming US citizens
How long before they regret this move?
The media insists it was a clock. It was not a clock. It was a short term timer, removed from its casing and placed in a cigar box.
This was the work of a 3 yr old, literally. I asked my 3 yr old grand daughter to take the timer out of its box and put it in my cigar box. She accomplished the identical construction as the “clock boy.”
The only difference is my grand daughter did not understand how to attach the timer connectors to a bomb.
Don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord slip you.
Our government will grant them special status and welcome him back with open arms.
It was clearly a provocation, not an invention.
But it plays into the leftwing media’s narrative. So they’ll run with it no matter how transparent a ploy.
I hadn’t seen it but someone said he even left the 9v backup wire dangling.
Yep how absurd they stay with the lie about the clock.
But the top dog, Obama himself, weighed in and said it was a cool clock. So who are the liberal media to contradict their leader?????
Damn good start!
