Fox News: Clock Boy’s Dad Pushes 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Online

KELLY: “We also have a disturbing new twist tonight in the story of Ahmed Mohamed, the boy who was arrested for bringing his homemade clock that look like a bomb to school. He has been invited to a Science Fair at the White House on October 19th, but it is the alarming 9/11 conspiracy theory post on his father’s social media account that caught our attention. Trace Gallagher is live in our West Coast newsroom with the story. Trace.”

GALLAGHER: “Megyn, while 14-year old Ahmed Mohamed is still on his world tour gaining recognition for his alleged scientific and engineering capabilities after he was arrested and suspended for bringing what some believe was a ‘hoax bomb’, to school. We’ve learned Ahmed’s father, Sudanese political activist, Elhassan  Mohamed, has two different Facebook pages. One is a personal page where he appears pro-America. When he was asked about ISIS threatening to kill police officers, he responded ‘Killing is not right and is prohibited in Islam. As Allah mentioned in the Koran, if you kill one person without rightness, it is as you are killing all mankind.’ But there's also an Arabic Facebook page for the National Reform Party, political party started by Elhassan Mohamed, bearing a similar profile picture and address. Only, this web page is much more active and the tone is very different, including a 14 minute conspiracy theory clip on the 9/11 terrorist attack and the post that shows the smoking world trade towers describing it as a U.S-sponsored host to launch a world war against Islam and Muslims. We should note Elhassan Mohamed has repeatedly ran for president of Sudan despite living near Dallas. After finding out more information about the clock that Ahmed says he build, and how some believe he was targeted for his race and religion, the Irving school district says it has information that would shed new light on why he did it. But they can’t release it because he is a minor and his family would have to sign off on it. The problem is, the district sent the release form to the wrong lawyer.”
