Well, B&B have gone to great pains to stress the Iraq-al Qaeda link, helped by the recent tape from "OBL". Interesting, that TWoT has shifted from getting OBL to getting Saddam. Why? If OBL *is* still alive, the war aims of the invasion of Afghanistan failed. It's all gone strangely quite in that area.
I agree that further al Qaeda attacks are inevitable (Mombasa, Bali) and that they probably don't care much about playing to B&B's or Saddam's timetable, but it's very convenient for B&B to whip things up a bit at the moment. There may be a serious threat to Heathrow, but it may or may not merit the claim that it is comparable to 911 in magnitude. Without access to MI6 intelligence sourcves, we're guessing.
