Editing Stockholm syndrome (section)

==London syndrome ==
London Syndrome is the opposite of both Stockholm and Lima Syndromes: one or more hostages arouse the kidnappers' antipathy by defying them, trying to escape or, in the case of a political kidnapping, arguing with them, disqualifying their ideology.<ref name="Abel">{{cite journal |last1=Abel |first1=Ernest Lawrence |title=A Note on Psychological Disorders Named After Cities |journal=Names |date=1 September 2014 |volume=62 |issue=3 |pages=177–182 |doi=10.1179/0027773814Z.00000000087 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274529891 |language=en |issn=1756-2279|doi-access=free }}{{Creative Commons text attribution notice|cc=by4|from this source=yes}}</ref>

The name London Syndrome comes from the 1980 [[siege of the Iranian Embassy]] in London, in which 26 hostages were taken. During the siege, one of the hostages repeatedly argued with the captors, despite other hostages asking him to keep quiet. After several days of siege, the captors decided to kill one of the hostages to force compliance with their demands. So they chose the argumentative hostage, shooting him and then throwing his body out into the street. This prompted a [[United Kingdom Special Forces|special forces]] attack, during which they rescued all but one of the remaining hostages and killed five of the six hostage-takers.<REF name="Abel"/>
