Photos; Muslim Boy Arrested In America For Making A Bomb-Like Clock Meets With Sudanese President

He's now a star.....The 14-year-old American who made headlines after being arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school has met Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. Ahmed Mohamed and his family were received at a presidential compound in Sudan's capital Khartoum on Wednesday, according to state-run radio.



The Texan teenager was pulled out of class and handcuffed because a teacher mistook his clock for a bomb. His arrest was sharply criticised and the police declined to file charges. The boy's father, Mohamed Hassan al-Sufi, is a Sudanese immigrant to the US and a former presidential candidate who ran against Mr Bashir.
