interesting question actually. The answer to that, although probably not what you meant by the question is the key to the middle east's problems.

The league of nations subdivided the old ottoman empire and chose a section to be given to the Jewish people. This was called Palestine under the original subdivision and until sufficient jewish migration to sustain a nation could be achieved, it was to remain under british control. Of course the brittish chose to treat it as if it were theirs. They gave some to certain arab leaders and it became modern day Jordan. Eventually the remaining chunk of the mandate territory was allowed to become a jewish nation. The british violated their mandate in the FAVOR of arabs. Of course historically, we know this not to be good enough for muslims.

This is not what you were asking though I assume.

Um... Well, I learned something here, I guess. I'd be pretty damn surprised if that's what Dante was referring to or if that was the reason the bombs were planted.
