It's called an RSS aggregator. And it's spelled "bizarre".

On-topic:
I don't doubt that there was a real plot. I don't think the timing had much to do with elections - if anything, it's likely that the plans for violence were long in preparation, but were finally put into execution in response to the perceived US/UK position on what's happening in Lebanon right now. I don't think any of us in the general public yet know enough to comment on a possible Al-Qaeda connection - Britain itself is home to enough disaffected, radicalized native Muslims that we can't take the connection for granted.
As for the overblown coverage, I think it's equally a product of political manipulation and the shape of our current news media, with its constant hunger for new and sensational content. I wouldn't make too much of the 'vacation' thing.
