Asfour is among five men charged in the case being handled by the U.S. Attorney's office in Philadelphia.
One of Asfour's alleged co-conspirators, Dani Nemr Tarraf of Slovakia, is charged with approaching an undercover agent in June 2009 to buy FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and 10,000 Colt M4 Carbine machine guns.
The complaint says the defendants deposited a $20,000 check for the deal.
Authorities say Asfour then worked to sell those weapons.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Asfour and his co-defendants were allegedly trying to channel the weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Asfour faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
