RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, JULY 9. A U.S. Marine who vanished in a reported kidnapping in Iraq and resurfaced in Beirut more than two weeks later arrived at a U.S. Air Force Base in Germany today, a base spokesman said. Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun arrived aboard a C-17 transport jet at 7.35 p.m. and was immediately whisked away to nearby Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, said Air Force Master Jon Hanson. He was expected to stay three to four days before returning to the United States, hospital spokeswoman Marie Shaw said. ``He's going to undergo debriefing and evaluation,'' she said. Hassoun, reported missing from his base near the troubled city of Fallujah, arranged with American officials to pick him up yesterday afternoon in Beirut and bring him to the US Embassy, according to US officials. While the 24-year-old was missing various conflicting reports emerged about Hassoun — first that he was beheaded, then that he was alive. — AP
