The Marine Corps is being very tight-lipped about this marine. DOVER, Del. Fox News — A U.S. Marine who disappeared in Iraq and turned up in Lebanon three weeks later was brought to the United States on Thursday after six days of evaluation in a U.S. military hospital in Germany, a military official said. Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun (search) took off from Ramstein Air Base (search) on a morning flight aboard an Air Force C-5 Galaxy heavy transport jet for Dover, Del., a day after he was originally scheduled to depart, base spokeswoman Petra Day said. The flight arrived at Dover on Thursday afternoon and Hassoun then boarded another flight for the Marine base at Quantico, Va., according to an Air Force official at the Delaware base who spoke on condition of anonymity. At Quantico, the Pentagon's Joint Personnel Recovery Agency will handle the rest of his repatriation, according to the Marine Corps. The U.S. Navy has said it is investigating whether the kidnapping might have been a hoax, but the Naval Criminal Investigation Service is not expected to question Hassoun until his repatriation procedure is completed, the Marine Corps said. As he departed the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (search) on Wednesday, Hassoun said he was anxious to get home.
