Beware the Changing of the Guard

When there was a Spanish election, al-Qaeda bombed trains in Madrid which forced the powers in Spain to bring the issue of Iraq to a head and forced the withdrawal of the Spanish forces.  Now in the UK with a change of Prime Minister and an election soon to be called there has been a suite of bombs and threats in the UK to again raise the issue to the people about the British involvement in Iraq.

With the Americans so gun-ho about Iraq, it seems to me that al-Qaeda try to target lesser members of the Coalition of the Willing to force political pressure locally for withdrawals.

Does that mean that with the upcoming Federal Election, should we be worried?
