Moroccan teenager stunned at portrayal as US bombing suspect

A Moroccan teenager said he is scared to go outside after he was portrayed on the Internet and on the front page of the New York Post as connected to the deadly Boston Marathon bombings...Photos of Salah Eddin Barhoum, 17, and friend Yassine Zaime were posted on websites whose users have been scouring marathon finish line photos for suspects...The Post reported later...that the pair weren’t considered suspects...But Barhoum, a track runner at Revere High School, said he is convinced some will blame him for the bombings, no matter what.
