Is there any other explanation other than BDS to assume that every murder committed in every ally of the US is the responsibility of Mr. Bush?

the likely suspects to me are Al Qaida working in league with the Pakistan intelligence service.

The Insider Brief/Pakistan:
Individuals in the establishment that I've spoken with believe that the Chaudhries of Gujrat were behind the attack. Speculation will likely continue, but be mindful that many of my contacts believed the Chaudhries would make attempts on Bhutto's life before she arrived in Karachi months ago.
Pakistan's thieving elites named and shamed:
The Chaudhries of Gujrat are another product of the Zia regime. The general arranged loans of billions of dollars to them to build them up against the People's Party (PPP). Although Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was regarded as a brilliant politician, it was general Zia who was the Machiavelli of Pakistani politics.
The fact that a number of bureaucrats -- Salman Farooqi, Ahmed Sadiq et al -- also became billionaires reflects the corruption that pervades every aspect of Pakistani life. Ahmed Sadiq was Benazir Bhutto's principal secretary.
