'I'm NOT a terrorist... I was just watching the race': Moroccan high school runner wrongly linked to Boston bombings after photo of him at the finishing line sweeps the web


Innocent: Track star Sulahaddin Barhoum, 17, pictured with his sports bag and running trophies is terrified that claims he was a Boston marathon bomb suspect have put his family in danger
Sulahaddin Barhoum (above and circled), who lives in Massachusetts, clutched a handful of his own running medals on a red, white and blue ribbon as he told MailOnline of his terror at being falsely accused. The 17-year-old Moroccan, who moved to the U.S. with his family four years ago, said: 'Late last night friends started calling and emailing me - they said my photo was all over the internet, that I was a suspect in the Boston bombing. I was terrified, I have never been in trouble and I feared for my security.'
