RALEIGH, N.C. — Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, the Marine who was once thought kidnapped in Iraq only to be charged later with desertion, has disappeared, Marine officials announced Wednesday.
Hassoun had been on leave with his family in West Jordan, Utah, when he was scheduled to return to Camp Lejeune on Tuesday, military officials told FOX News. Hassoun's family said they do not know his whereabouts, and the military began notifying civilian law enforcement of his fugitive status.
The U.S. Marine Corps again listed Hassoun as a deserter on Wednesday. He had been charged in December with unauthorized leave following a five-month probe into his June disappearance from a U.S. military camp in Iraq.

Hang the monkey.
Bet he winds up in Lebanon again!
A deserter went UA? No kiddin'.
This thing sounded fishy from the git go. But who's to say for sure.........
Boy, there's a surprise.
I certainly hope they don't profile him, like arab, Marine, deserter.
Yeah, it would be horrible if they started harassing all Arab Marine deserters just because of one individual. What a breech of civil rights that would be.
Thats a classic example of military speek. I understood it perfectly.
I think the Eddie Slovick treatment is in order here.
I can't help but think the Canadians aided and abetted this guy. If so, our neighbor to the north is really starting to get on my nerves.
