Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old boy who was arrested for bringing a homemade digital clock to school is moving to Qatar after the incident that accused him of bringing a bomb.

Last month, CNN reported that Ahmed made news for being put in handcuffs and pulled out of school for bringing what a teacher presumed was a bomb to class. Later, it was discovered that the "bomb" was only a digital clock that he built himself, and the Irving Police did not charge him with any crime. However, the story has already made it to press and Ahmed's story went viral. He garnered support from big names, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

The teen spoke that his decision to push the family to move is due to the intense media attention and conspiracy theories surrounding himself. The Mohamed family said in a statement via Time Magazine, "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."

The family also stated that the program "reflects the organization's on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity."

A family friend, Anthony Bond, spoke to The Washington Post about the family's decision to move, which he mentioned happened only in the last 24 hours, following Ahmed's visit in Washington, DC, by invitation of President Barack Obama for Astronomy Night, a White House initiative to encourage kids to pursue STEM subjects. Bond also added, "Everybody's vilifying him, and he's not a villain. He's a 14-year-old boy."

Ahmed's 19-year-old sister Eyman also spoke about the things her brother had to go through that made him decide he wants to stop schooling in America. She shared, "It's been really hard," she told the paper. "Everything happens for a reason, but there's so much stuff being said that isn't true." The "stuff" Eyman referred to are the conspiracy theories surrounding Ahmed, saying that he made the clock as a publicity stunt.

From being another student in Texas, the incident calling Ahmed out for his innovative digital clock made him a symbol in America, as daytime TV segments, tweets, and think pieces analyzed his situation and dissected how it typified racism and Islamaphobia in the US.
