The decision came just 24 hours after Ahmed met with President Obama.
Via The Washington Post:
The 14-year-old Texas boy who was arrested for bringing to school a homemade clock that authorities said resembled a bomb will soon be living in Qatar.
“After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity,” the family said in a news release Tuesday.
Anthony Bond, a close family friend and the founder of the Irving, Texas, chapter of the NAACP said the family made the decision to leave the U.S. within the past 24 hours. They have spent those hours in Washington, where Ahmed has been on a mini-press tour in anticipation of his visit to the White House.
But he was here just long enough, as one WAPO commenter pointed out, for a “shameless act of contrived political theatre designed to appeal to the basest of liberal inclinations”.

A Clock? Seriously, that’s a radio shack project for a 6yo. I can’t believe we celebrate this crap. Now given that the clock is so very easy to make I wonder what’s the real story here? At his age he should be programming whole first person shooter video games and even that would not be very impressive.
GOOD RIDDANCE… Hope ya feel right at home!
They figure as a clock maker he could be useful making timers for roadside bombs.
I got a motorcycle with some stray wiring hanging out the side. I hope the Texas authorities don’t think I’m riding a bomb.
stay in Qatar!..forever!
be soooo pissed at the USofA that you burn all your travel papers or passports
no tears shed here
Not enough homosexuals here for Ahmed. He will feel right at home with the turbin fudge packers.
They’re getting the hell out of here because it’s obvious that the USA is becoming a Nazi police state, and they have a life elsewhere.
There was a time when foreigners who came here were happy they made the trip.
This is whole thing is so pathetic that I can’t even begin to comment on it.
