By the way jlckanas excellent list left out the community of Russian women who are going to be one of the biggest assets that will be called on.
I mean, quite apart from the idiocy of kidnapping Kiki rather than trying to assassinate her...if you're the most wanted man by a world superpower, you run. You don't try to 'from hell's heart', you run like hell.
Again, rank amateur.
You kill her, if you must you move the body and dump it somewhere remote to tie up more assets, but the point of acts like this is to run on the fringe while all the powers that be are focused somewhere else. Mithras, however, doesn't have the "right" stuff to do that, instead he is going all moron about it.
I'd almost be down for a different terrorist group/separatist group (Poland?) just handing him over with a "We don't like you, but we like him less" note attached.
Uhhh...
There is another option to just, "kidnapped."
Anyone read Tom Clancy's Without Remorse?
If Kiki winds up dead, in a fountain...

I doubt that's his plan. His last POV said that his few hangers-on were looking for him to improve their fortunes and that this plan was to try to achieve that. Killing or torturing Kiki doesn't achieve that. My bet is, he's either going to demand a ransom, prisoners be released, or concessions from the Imperial government. Which...yeah, none of those things are going to happen.
One of the unfortunate victims in all of this is going to be Mithras family, even should they have no idea of what he was truly doing, they will have to leave the country.
