Spetznaz Warning: Taking hostages may be dangerous to your health.

Comment from a viewer:

Reminds me of the hostage situation in Lebanon during the 1980s. The rampant rumor was that Hamas took a Soviet attache hostage. The next morning Hamas found the bullet-riddled body of one of their members on their doorstep with a note attached that read, "Two a day until we get ours back."

and an excerpt from Holger Jensen's website:

Nations with more experience say the reprisals must be harsher, more merciless, more focused on those responsible - and less publicized. Terrorists, being ruthless, respect ruthlessness and they get the message no matter how privately it is delivered.

For example, the United States never retaliated for Hezbollah's car bombs that killed 300 Americans at the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks in 1983 and the group's subsequent kidnapping of 17 American hostages, among them Terry Anderson of the Associated Press and Coloradan Thomas Sutherland.

The Russians, who lost three diplomats to Hezbollah in the early days of Lebanon's Shiite reign of terror, did retaliate. Whether the KGB did the "wet work" or contracted it out to freelance assassins, of whom there were plenty in Beirut at the time, dead Shiites started showing up all over the city, castrated and horribly tortured.

Hezbollah never targeted the Soviet again.
