Fugitive on FBI’s Most Wanted List Captured in Wales After Over 20 Years in Hiding | US News
A fugitive wanted for over twenty years by the FBI has been apprehended in North Wales, according to the agency.
Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, was listed as one of the FBI’s “most wanted terrorists” for carrying out two bombings in the San Francisco area in 2003.
Authorities reported that two bombs detonated approximately an hour apart on the premises of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville in August that year.
In September of the same year, another bomb loaded with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton.
FBI Director Christopher Wray stated: “There’s a right way and a wrong way to express your views in our country, and resorting to violence and destruction of property is not the right way.”
The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) confirmed that the arrest was made on Monday in the Conwy area of Wales.
Reports suggest that he was taken into custody at a property in a rural location adjacent to woodland.
He appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday as the extradition process to the US to face charges commences.
According to the FBI, San Diego has affiliations with “animal rights extremist groups” and a bounty of $250,000 (£199,000) was offered for information leading to his capture.
