This CNN article seems to suggest that the US only learned of these potential attacks after the arrest of this guy in Pakistan last week, although the intelligence that was gathered BY al-Qaeda was gathered years ago, in 2000/2001. I interpreted the BBC's article this morning to mean that the US's own intelligence about the attacks had been gathered years ago. My bad.
Still, I don't believe that it's just a coincidence that they arrested this guy the day after the DNC ended and then announced this new threat over the weekend.
