That statement is true

Using hostages for publicity often used by terrorist group that is driven by ideologies rather than financial gain. The use of hostages for bargaining chips or ransom is used by the groups that seek financial gain (such as pirates). Using hostages for political concessions is often used by the group that orchestrated by the people in power.
