Ahmed Mohamed captured the nation with a heart-wrenching story: He tried to impress teachers with a homemade clock that he made for a class project, and was arrested and accused of making a bomb.

Now, doubts are starting to grow and some believe that his story was nothing more than a hoax.

According to Investors Business Daily, Mohamed's clock was not part of any school project mandated by teachers, so he had no reason to bring the suspicious-looking package into the building.

Mohamed also did not create the clock from scratch, it was pieces of a disassembled mass-manufactured clock that was being sold on eBay, it included an AC cord and 9-volt backup battery connection. The clock was originally built by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidiary, it's catalog number 63-765.

The young boy also set a bomb-like alarm clock sound to go off during his English class, which prompted the teacher to call the police.

Police described Mohamed as uncooperative and "disrespectful" when they questioned him about the clock.

Ahmed's sister, Eyman, had been suspended just three years prior for allegedly making threats that she wanted to blow up the school, according to Breitbart News.

Making matters worse, the infamous photo of the teen being arrested by police officers was staged. Mohamed's father, a Sudanese immigrant, reportedly asked the police to re-handcuff the boy so Eyman could take the picture that went viral.

Either way, it seems like the president, Mark Zuckerberg, and the rest of the nation spoke too fast before getting all the facts in this situation.
