Question that's been nagging at me

Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department advised Americans against traveling in Europe, and particularly in France, due to new (but secret and vague) information about impending al-Qaida terror attacks. This was at about the same time I started reading about national strikes in France protesting the impending raise in the retirement age.

Is this a coincidence? Or is "al-Quaida terror" just the go-to shorthand for any potential civil unpleasantness at the State Department these days?
