Ahmed met with President Barack Obama last month at the White House's Astronomy Night. The invitation came after he was mistakenly arrested at school in September (right), with a teacher believing he had a bomb. The device was actually a clock he had made himself as a project

Ahmed took his clock to school in September, and his teacher thought it could be a bomb.

She called 911 and Ahmed was arrested but never charged.

He was also suspended from school.

A photo of him being taken away in handcuffs, looking frightened and confused, quickly spread around the world.

His arrest sparked fury across the nation, and Ahmed has basked in his celebrity status since, leaving school and flying all over with his parents to meet dignitaries.

Last month he ended up meeting President Obama after he was invited to the White House as consolation for his arrest.

The family accepted a foundation's offer to pay for Ahmed's education in Qatar and has since moved to the Persian Gulf country 'for security reasons'.

They say in the lawsuit they would like to return to Texas when they feel safe again

Among the many damages they mention is that Ahmed was turned into 'Clock Boy' on a Halloween costume website.

The letters claim that Ahmed suffered severe damages as a result of his arrest and interrogation

The letters were sent to both the City of Irving and Irving IDS demanding $10 million and $5 million respectively

The attorneys claim that both the school district and the police department violated Ahmed’s rights

Ahmed shared a photograph of himself and his clock last month, writing: 'GOT MY CLOCK BACK FINALLY!!'

Avi Selk, a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, tweeted an image of the clock in an evidence bag. The evidence bag lists the charge as a 'Hoax bomb'

The family seeks written apology from Mayor Van Duyne acknowledging that she has never been presented with any evidence that Ahmed was a 'pawn' in any 'civilization jihad' and a written apology from Police Chief Larry Boyd acknowledging that Ahmed never intended to threaten anyone.

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

After meeting the president last month, Ahmed announced that he will take up an offer from a foundation in Qatar.

The high school student withdrew from his Texas school after being arrested and has embarked on a world tour of visits to places such as Google before going to Washington DC.

A statement from his family at the time said he had accepted an offer from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development to join its Young Innovators program.

Ahmed, who wants to be an engineer, said in the statement: 'Qatar was a cool place to visit. I loved the city of Doha because it's so modern. I saw so many amazing schools there, many of them campuses of famous American universities.

At the White House on October 19, Obama briefly met Ahmed and even gave the freshman a hug

Education City has one Qatari university as well as outposts of schools including University College London, Carnegie Mellon University, Weill Cornell Medical College, and Georgetown's School of Foreign Service.

'They even have Texas A&M at Qatar … It’s basically like America,' Ahmed's 18-year-old sister Eyman told the Dallas Morning News.

'We are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn and all of them being accepted by that country,' his father Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed said.

Ahmed previously said he was 'glad' for his arrest and the ensuing attention it brought him.

'I am glad that this happened to me,' he said.

'I get to spread my word out to the people and tell them it's not about the color of your skin or your religion.'

Ahmed went on to echo Martin Luther King Jr's 'I have a dream speech', saying people should always 'judge a person by their heart, not by what they look like'.

The teen also talked about his big meeting with the president, which happened Monday night during a special event about astronomy at the White House.

'We talked about Mars and 2030,' Ahmed said, 'and I talked to him about the generator that I'm making and how it could help people on Mars.'

Ahmed said he was impressed with the president's knowledge of space.

Ahmed's father, also spoke at the press conference, saying that change needs to happen so that innocent children like his son aren't the victims of discrimination.

'He was just seeking help from his teacher,' Mr Mohamed said.
