As explained on CNN, it means one of two things:
1. a target that, based on intelligence, has lately acquired crucial significance;
2. a target that may or may not prove meaningful, but the window of opportunity has opened and may not remain open for long. The speculative significance of the target makes it irresistibly attractive, in the sense that one does not want to regret passing it up if it later proves significant.
