Zaki, director of the private Peace Radio, was killed by suspected Taliban gunmen on June 5 in Parwan Province, north of Kabul.
It was the second recent killing of a female Afghan journalist.
In a statement posted on her official website, Laura Bush said Zaki's murder was a reminder of the threat that terrorism poses to the rights to free speech, a free press, and to equal dignity for women.
