One of the enduring stories from the Sargonian civil war years is how Ursus was able to secure the quick release of three of its diplomats kidnapped there, in contrast to Columbia, whose hostages were held for many years.
This is roughly what happened: four Ursus diplomats serving in Sargon were seized in two separate incidents in September 1080. The group claiming responsibility was the so-called Sargonian Jihad.
A former Maylander official was cited as saying, “The Ursine aren’t any better off than we are; [but] they will be much more ruthless.” By this time, several Columbians had been kidnapped and remained unreturned.
In this atmosphere, it was not surprising that the Columbians were looking for a silver bullet to release their hostages and prevent such abductions from happening again. The reason was that the Ursus diplomats were released only a few weeks after being kidnapped. What had made this relatively swift denouement possible? Within months, media outlets would try to provide an answer.
According to the Kazdelian Post, the KGB played a key role in securing the hostages’ release. The story reads: “The KGB,” the Post said, “kidnapped a Sargonian man, castrated him, and sent the severed testicles to his relative, a key fundamentalist leader. The Ursus secret service then threatened that other family members would be dealt with in a similar fashion if the Ursus hostages were not immediately released. The castrated captive had been shot in the head and killed,” the Post said. In the article, it was noted that the organs of the Sargonian Jihad official’s relative “were sent to [him] with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the remaining Ursus diplomats… were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.”
