You just never know.
Sometimes they will use a big event just to get some publicity, sometimes they have something specific in the works.
That's kind of the idea of terrorism, to keep people in a constant state of fear, either real or perceived.

That's some good points there. I didn't think of the publicity aspect.
Supposedly this is the basic translation of the video
In the video, Seyfullah said:
"Through this blessed jihad in Yunnan this time, the Turkestan Islamic Party warns China one more time."
"Our aim is to target the most critical points related to the Olympics. We will try to attack Chinese central cities severely using the tactics that
have never been employed."
Also, in a five page statement supposedly released by Seyfullah on June 27, he said:
"After receiving the order, asking Allah's continual help in this matter, the military commander has made the order to all brothers and sisters in
every corner of the world, to move to the action phase."
"These brothers and sisters have been waiting for the order and these brothers and sisters are volunteers who would commit suicide bombing when it is
time for it."
"Bomb the Chinese government buildings, military barracks, airplanes, airports, railways, foreigner hotels, entertainment venues, tourist spots and
similar places!"
"Set on fire! You are even permitted to use biological weapons this time."
