Smugglers hid firearms inside used cars and then shipped them overseas, U.S. authorities said this week, revealing details of what they say was an international operation based in and near Cleveland, Ohio.

The gun-running operation allegedly sent hundreds of guns to Beirut, Lebanon, where they were resold at a profit, a news release from federal agencies said.
