Islamic militants claim to have taken a US marine hostage in Iraq and are threatening to behead him, al-Jazeera television has reported.
Footage aired on the channel showed a blindfolded man dressed in camouflage and holding a US marine ID card.
The card said the man's name was Wassef Ali Hassoun and he was on active duty.
The US military has confirmed that a marine by that name has been missing in Iraq since 21 June, but it is not clear if it is the same man as in the tape.
