The UK gov't just acknowledged that they had, during the days following the end of WWII, planted some limpet mines and incendiary devices, onto several of the ships transporting Jews to Palestine.
This was done at the request of several mid-eastern oil rich countries, who were blaming the British (who administered the area of Palestine under a UN mandate, at that time) for allowing these Jews to enter their former (prior to their expulsion by the Muslims around 460 A.D.), homeland.
Not entirely unexpected, since the Jewish hard liners in Palestine (Hagonah), were killing British soldiers by that time, with bombs, as well.
