Family and friends of a U.S. Marine being held hostage in Iraq say they are praying and pleading for the soldier's release by Iraqi insurgents.

A spokesman for Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun's family in the state of Utah says, in his words, they "accept destiny with its good and its bad." Corporal Hassoun is a Muslim of Lebanese descent.

On Sunday, the family confirmed that Corporal Hassoun was the man shown in a videotape broadcast on Arabic satellite television showing a blindfolded man in military fatigues and a Marine identification card.

Iraqi militants in the tape threatened to behead the soldier unless Iraqi prisoners are set free.

In another Arabic television video hooded gunmen is shown threatening to kill a man described as a Pakistani employee of a U.S. company.
