The BBC faithfully reports;
A boy who was arrested for taking a homemade clock to class is seeking $15m (£10m) from his city and school. Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was held by police and suspended from his school in Texas because his teacher mistook the clock for a bomb. His lawyer said in a letter that the incident, which made global headlines, sparked threats against the teenager and left him deeply traumatised.
The entire tone of the BBC is biased TOWARDS Mohamed (sic) so I will allow Richard Dawkins to posit a voice the BBC will not tolerate;
Don’t call him “clock boy” since he never made a clock. Hoax Boy, having hoaxed his way into the White House, now wants $15M in addition!

I thought they had gone to the Sudan! Well $15m should go a long way to funding his father’s sudenese presidential bid.
Oh if only all BBC stories were like this!
Imagine if government ministers were able to put their proposals to the people before being topped and tailed with ‘Critics Slam Minister’s Plans’ statements!
Where are the comments of the school and the police about this hoax boy brat? Where are the editorial statements that producing hoax bombs is a crime in Texas or that his family has ‘form’?
Still I expect we should be grateful that he hasn’t been given the Nobel Physics Prize (yet?) or made Islamic Scientist of the Year, (the design was foretold in the Koran, don’t you know!).
Just listening to the lunchtime news to be told that George Osborne will deliver his spending review shortly. We don’t know what is in it but the majority of the report is padded out with an academic telling us why it will be a failure!
Maybe Osbourne could sue the BBC for $15M?
So now we know why he was showing it around the school when told not to. Scheming little brat, he really set them up didn’t he.
Scheming little brat? We were informed at the time he has Autism
Someone is pulling the strings. Safely away from the USA and prying eyes
What the BBC won’t tell you about ‘clock boy’ and more to the point, his Dad.

And then there’s the issue of his older sister who, a couple of years earlier was suspended from school because she stated she wanted to blow it up. Looks like extremism runs in the family.
This looks identical to the pictures of the incomplete Clock, and is probably the actual thing itself. The kit is meant to operate a Clock face, but I think it would be easier to use it as a timer for a Bomb. But it seems that he failed to find any explosive, so is innocent. But then it would not be very impressive if it was bought by a white child though.

Atomic Clock: Code 322-065: Price £19.95
It wasn’t even a kit, he just dumped the works of an old clock into a case.
Build A Hoax (I can never get videos to work)
It is as much an example of the insane level of litigiousness that corrupts and distorts justice in America, as anything else. Obama must be so proud .
This guy is a bit intense but bang on the money:
a great rant that describes accurately the facts of this utter con.
I hope a judge kicks the case straight out of court, awarding costs against these schemers. And gives a fully reasoned judgment that points out all the lies – and criticises anyone who has been mug enough – or biased enough – to swallow the lies.
completely avoidable, should have been taken to the head master and given a thrashing with a cane
Richard Dawkins : Don’t call him “clock boy” since he never made a clock. Hoax Boy, having hoaxed his way into the White House, now wants $15M in addition!
But but, his is a Muslim from Somalia. For such as he, even a ripped off or ripped up 70’s clock is a massive scientific breakthrough.
Richard Dawkins is Islamophobic I think.
The teaching personnel and the police who were called to the school should counter sue for the trauma they experienced as a result of being confronted with a potential bomb and suicide bomber. The value of that case should be worth significantly more than this muslim family are claiming. If these muslims win this case it will be open season for similar muslim legal action and when the muslim planners think they’ve milked the system as much as they can, they’ll start to bring real bombs into schools. This issue is just another front in the war being waged against us by muslims.
