Sounds more like the sort of job the Spetsnaz (Russian Special Forces) would get involved in. Russia has a few warships in the area, the desire to re-establish itself as a military power, get on the good side of the oil rich gulf states and historically not too concerned about military incursions into foreign countries. They also don't mind if a few hostages die which makes them a lot more likely to carry out this sort of operation.
