Ahmed took a homemade clock
to his school in September to show a teacher, but another teacher thought it
could be a bomb.
The school contacted
police, who handcuffed the teenager.
Ahmed, the son of Sudanese
immigrants, was suspended from school for three days.
The 14-year-old Muslim boy
who was arrested after a homemade clock he took to his school was mistaken for
a bomb is seeking $15m, his lawyers say.
A law firm representing
Ahmed Mohamed sent letters on Monday demanding $10m (£6.7m) from the city of
Irving, Texas, and $5m from the Irving Independent School District.
The attorneys, who also
threatened to pursue legal action, said the teenager deserves the money and an
apology because he was publicly mistreated.
In the wake of his story
going viral, Ahmed received multiple job offers and visited the headquarters of
Google and Facebook.
He even chatted with
President Barack Obama while attending an Astronomy Night event at the White
House in October.
AHMED IS LUCKY. THIS IS D WAY. GOD WANT U & UR FAMILY TO MAKE IT . GOOD LUCK.
