The Justice Department said Thursday that 21-year-old Moyad Dannon and 20-year-old Mahde Dannon also are charged with various firearms offenses.
It says between July and December 2018, the brothers sold several illegally obtained firearms to a person working with the FBI and began to make untraceable “ghost guns” by purchasing unmarked firearms parts online and assembling them into functional .223 caliber semiautomatic rifles, which they sold to an undercover FBI agent. Prosecutors say the brothers believed the weapons were destined for the Islamic State.
Moyad Dannon’s attorney said he looks forward to seeing the government’s evidence. A message was left for Mahde Dannon’s attorney.
