No charges for Ahmed Mohamed, boy, 14, arrested over clock

A 14-year-old boy was arrested by police in Texas after a homemade clock he wanted to show his school teachers was mistaken for a bomb.

Ahmed Mohamed told US media that he made a clock at home and brought it into MacArthur High School in Irving to show his engineering teacher.  

Another teacher saw it, and, concerned it looked like a bomb, alerted school authorities who called the police.  

His father fears the incident happened because of his son's Muslim background.
