    A law firm representing Ahmed Mohamed sent letters Monday demanding $10 million from the city of Irving and $5 million from the Irving Independent School District. The letters also threaten lawsuits and seek written apologies.

    Ahmed took his clock to school in September, and an educator thought it could be a bomb. Ahmed was arrested but never charged. He was also suspended from school.

    The family accepted a foundation’s offer to pay for Ahmed’s education in Qatar (GUH’-tur) and has since moved to the Persian Gulf country.

    Messages left for Irving’s city attorney and the district weren’t immediately returned Monday.

    This is outrageous. The damages caused to this poor boy are worth far more than $15MM. My guess is he hired a goy for an attorney. Even most Muslims know that if you are serious about collecting money you hire a Jewish lawyer and if you are seriously I’ll, a Jewish doctor.

    The greed in this is unbelievable. I am impressed.

    The entire event was proven to be a hoax, something intentionally done to disturb, attract negative attention, and to provoke. Money? Not a dime. This kid was an embarrassment. Glad he left the country.
