ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani exchange student killed in a mass shooting in Texas last week was buried in her home town of Karachi on Wednesday, her coffin draped with Pakistan’s green and white flag.

Sabika Sheikh, 17, was among eight students and two teachers killed in Texas when Santa Fe High School, southeast of Houston, on Friday joined a grim list of U.S. schools and campuses where students and staff have been gunned down, stoking a divisive debate about gun laws.

Sheikh’s body arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday night and the funeral was held at a graveyard near her home in Karachi in the middle class Gulshe-e-Iqbal neighborhood.

Among about 400 people at the funeral was U.S. Ambassador David Hale and politicians from the provincial Sindh government.

“This innocent girl had gone to brighten the name of Pakistan,” Amir Khan, a senior leader of the Muttahida Quami Movement party which forms the city government in Karachi, told reporters at the funeral.

“But due to bad luck in a country that accuses the world of terrorism, she became a victim of terrorism herself.”

What our quisling media refuses to call it: terrorism. Sponsored by the NRA.
