The United Nation's has a Small Arms Treaty. Those that signed it should recognize the danger of exporting guns to the USA and end that trade.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi (click here) on Sunday condoled with the bereaved family of Sabika Sheikh, a student who died in the school fire incident in Texas USA on May 18.

The premier along with Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair visited the house of Sabika in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi and expressed his deep sorrow on the sad demise of the Pakistani student.

Abbasi called Sabika an intelligent student and said the whole nation is sad on her death. He prayed to God to give the family courage to bear the loss.

“Extremism was not an issue limited to a particular country or region,” the premier said, adding it is a global issue. He urged the international community to find out the real reasons behind the incident.

“We have to learn from each other’s experiences,” Abbasi stressed.

Sabika’s father said that Nawaz Sharif has specially sent the premier for condolence. We have a great respect for him and we are thankful to him. Uncle of Sabeeka Abdul Jalil Sheikh said that the family is thankful to the PM and the Governor of Sindh....
