Alive and kickin Missing Marine Now at U.S. Embassy in Beirut - Reuters ! WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Lebanese-born U.S. Marine who disappeared in Iraq (news - web sites) and was thought to have been taken hostage has arrived safe and in good health at the American Embassy in Beirut, U.S. officials said on Thursday. Wassef Ali Hassoun has been missing from his unit since June 21, and at one point was reported on a Web site to have been killed. "He is at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. He is safe. He appears to be healthy. We're working through the details of what the next steps are," said a U.S. defense official at the Pentagon (news - web sites), speaking on condition of anonymity. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Hassoun has been at the embassy since about 11 a.m. EDT. "We were able to go get him this morning," Boucher said, "He made contact with us." The Marine was picked up in Beirut, Boucher added. A cousin in Lebanon also confirmed Hassoun was at the embassy.
