Back in the 80's, 4 Soviet Embassy employees were kidnapped in Beirut by Hezbollah (I think). The word went out that KGB was coming to find them and the 4 were returned. Afterwards, the Sword and Shield went on a tear in Beirut and rounded up everyone even remotley connected to the kidnapping and killed them. The Sovs were never bothered again. 1985, I think..
