Back during the Lebanese civil war, several local morons made the terminal error of taking several Soviet hostages.
A few days later, the son of a prominent cleric who supported the actions of the hostage-takers was found dead. Well, his torso was "found," his head (with the genitals stuffed down the throat, courtesy of the Spetsnaz) was delivered to the family, with a warning that such would be repeated and escalated if the Soviet nationals were not released. The Russians got their people back in short order, and the entire region has cut them a -very- wide berth ever since.
