If you followed: (partial events sequence, pardon in advance for any confusion, mostly just noting and wondering incompletely)
Friday - the recent twin Boko Haram market bombings reportedly done by women
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nigeria-boko-haram-blamed-for-suicide-bombers-that-killed-dozens/
Saturday - then this one, at the soccer stadium in Turkey

Sunday - maybe the church collapse in YOLA, Nigeria (no reported links yet)

Then, one could possibly say that the war for the soul of jihadis may be heating up some more, considering Egypt is a bellwether?
Is it parts of the AQ/ISIS/et. al. goading other parts into action to build up their networks, prestige, recruitment, leverage, based on the usual themes, going back to the first attacks in Luxor? Mentioned here:

Considering they've been aiming for "Rome";
and cultural targets worldwide that challenge their oppressive cookie cutter mindset from dominating the belief;
then why would the Gulf Arabs, who seem to say they fund all this to stem Iran's reach and seemingly to extend their own political influence worldwide, be so confident as to make a push just now?
Is it borne of back against the wall losing to Iran desperation or renewed hope for more influence I wonder (more of the same or more desperate)? Kinda seems more culturally oriented than showing muscle, fashion malls (women's covering up), faith & morality (Orlando), education (OSU and others), music (Bataclan and others), cartoons/art (Hebdo and others), sports (stade France, Turkey and others)? Pushing back against youth trending against the orthodoxy, who dominates through maintained chaos maybe?
