Regarding "who's next", one thing to note:

Next Sunday, March 21, is the Persian New Year (Nauroz or any of a myriad of variant spellings). Besides Iran, it is celebrated in Afghanistan and Kurdistan.

According to Turkish press reports, the Iraqi Kurdish PUK has already claimed to have foiled one AQ suicide bomb plot for the new year's celebrations in Sulaimaniyah.

From Kirkuk to Kabul, this is one of the more immediate threats to watch.
