Well if you look at the times between their major attacks, it's always several years. I think the war in Afghan did disrupt them somewhat as well. Iraq however has helped their cause in the middle east. So maybe they are concentrating where they can have the most support.
Security is also pretty tough in airports now days and no way after 9/11 will passengers ever sit by again in an airliner hijacking. So I almost think after 9/11 they will almost have to write off any attacks via airliners anytime in the near future.
So for now it's much easier and more effective for them to attack in other places abroad than here in the US. They also don't get the same support from Muslims here in the US as they likely will in Europe or else where.
As much as the extremist hate the US, Muslims in general do very well in this country, because racism isn't as big of a factor as it is elsewhere like say Europe for instance. That means they get very little domestic support here in the US from other Muslims, and that makes attacking inside the US much harder.
So overall I think it's because they likely can't trump the 9/11 attacks and they will have to in another attack. Otherwise they will look like they are getting weaker. So I think in short, they are attacking where they can be the most effective.
