In 1985 4 Soviet Diplomats were kidnapped in Beirut. The Soviets dispatched KGB group alpha. They didn't look for the kidnappers, a Sunni org that decided they wanted to be taken seriously by killing one of the hostages. They found the brother of the leader, removed his genitals and mailed them to his mother. The hostages were immediately released with apologies.

I heard it from Bryan Suits, a radio host. It was on his regular program but his Sunday program, the Dark Secret Place is awesome for getting into details of military and political operations all over the world, including a Twitter feed with links to docs, etc. It's where I discovered that amazing Google map overlay of North Korea.

A cursory look for a link turned up:
