The teenage boy authorities once investigated as possibly being connected to the Boston Marathon bombing told ABC News today he was shocked to see his face pop up on television and all over social media.

He had just gone to watch the race, he said, but soon after the explosions, he was singled out by internet sleuths as looking suspicious.

Barhoun's younger brother, who declined to be identified, said that it made his mother "sick and upset" that her son had been connected to the tragedy.

"It made her think he had done something wrong," the younger brother said. "My brother is not the bomber."
