Could this have anything to do with Obama's birthday?  "Coincidentally, or not, Sunday is August 4th, birthday of US President Barack Obama."

Rep. King: Al-Qaeda terror threat 'very specific'  "The alert has almost certainly altered the terrorists' plans if they did indeed, want to attack our embassy in Sanaa.

Until that is understood, the U.S. and its allies cannot possibly devise a coherent strategic response — which is why 34 years after Iran’s revolution and twelve years after 9/11, we still don’t have one."...
