Indiana Brothers Sentenced for 'Ghost Gun' Operation to Arm ISIS

The Dannon brothers, who assembled untraceable rifles from parts bought online, intended the weapons for attacks on U.S. targets.

Moyad Dannon, 25, and his brother Mahde Dannon have been sentenced to 16 and 20 years in federal prison respectively for attempting to provide guns to the Islamic State group.
The brothers plotted to deliver stolen guns and self-assembled 'ghost guns' to an undercover FBI agent, who they believed was a potential buyer intending to ship the weapons to the Middle East for use by the Islamic State group.
The 'ghost guns' were assembled from parts bought online, making them untraceable .223-caliber semiautomatic rifles.
On May 15, 2019, the brothers built five untraceable automatic .223 caliber rifles and sold them to undercover FBI agents, leading to their immediate arrest.
The FBI officials stated that the weapons were intended for attacks on U.S. targets.
