There wouldn't be an election imminent would there?

Here's the Official alert from the US Department of State:

October 3, 2010

The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to the potential for terrorist attacks in Europe.  Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks.  European governments have taken action to guard against a terrorist attack and some have spoken publicly about the heightened threat conditions.

The UK has issued one as well.  The information was released last week; I think it just took them a while to access the situation fully.
