one thing confuses me: if indeed the "attack" is a suicide bombing(s) at shopping malls, the peak xmas period is ending today. when were they going to conduct this attack, in the middle of the day on a tuesday, or on the weekend before xmas when the malls are packed?

Going by your logic, the 9/11 terrorists should have timed their hits one hour later when more people would have arrived at their jobs. They want to maximize their casualties, but they strike where when and how they can get away with it, therefore we all are to be alert for any unusual happenings in order to help thwart any attempts. Merely concluding that if it were going to happen it would or should have happened already so the threat is over evidently is not the conclusion of those analyzing the intelligence think.
