Prosecutors are seeking a stiffer sentence for a New Jersey supermarket employee who admitted providing weapons to the suspects in an alleged plot to attack the Army's Fort Dix.
Agron Abdullahu of Buena Vista Township faces 10 to 16 months in prison when sentenced on Monday in federal court in Camden.
Prosecutors argue that the guidelines do not account for the severity of his offense, asserting that Abdullahu was aware that the suspects were training for a "nefarious purpose," although he was not accused of participating in the overarching plot to kill U.S. soldiers.
The filing by prosecutors does not specify what sentence they want. Abdullahu's lawyer has not filed a response yet.
Abdullahu, who is in his mid-20s, pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to provide illegal immigrants with firearms and ammunition in October, an offense punishable by up to five years in prison.
The five men accused of developing a plot are scheduled to be tried in September.
