Timing Terrorism

Steve Benen makes an interesting observation about some of the major terror attacks of the past 15 years, in light of today's near miss in London:

. . . I'm also curious about the possible attack coinciding with the announcement of a new British Prime Minister. The '93 attack in NYC happened shortly after Clinton took office; 9/11 occurred shortly after Bush took office; might today after something to do with Brown?

The whole post is here. Seems worth considering.
