Muttahida Quami Movement founder Altaf Hussain seeks asylum in India

A&nbsp;Pakistani&nbsp;exchange student killed in a mass shooting in Texas last week was buried in her hometown 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 US&nbsp;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 neighbourhood.

Among about 400 people at the funeral was US&nbsp;Ambassador David Hale and politicians from the provincial Sindh government.

"This innocent&nbsp;girl&nbsp;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."

Sheikh's father, Aziz, said earlier the thought of school shootings had never crossed his mind when he sent Sabika to study in the United States.

"Sabika's case should become an example to change the gun laws," Aziz Sheikh told Reuters.

Sabika was part of the YES exchange programme funded by the US&nbsp;State Department, which provides scholarships for students from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend an academic year in the United States.

She was due to return to Pakistan on June 9.

"I have no words to express my feelings," family friend Mohammad Ali said after the coffin arrived at the family home. "It is a great loss to Pakistan. She wanted to do a lot for this country."
