A U.S. fugitive on the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorist” list has been caught in the United Kingdom after more than two decades on the run. Authorities in Wales reportedly arrested Daniel Andreas San Diego on Monday, Nov. 25, in an operation involving Britain’s national intelligence agencies and the FBI.
San Diego, who is considered a domestic terrorist by the FBI, now awaits extradition to the United States. He was federally indicted in 2004 on two counts of destroying or attempting to destroy property with explosives and two counts of using a destructive device in a crime of violence.
The FBI accuses San Diego of openly promoting violence in the name of animal rights. The charges San Diego faces are in connection with a bomb blast at biotechnology company Chiron Inc. near Oakland, California, in 2003.
Investigators found a second bomb that they deactivated and believed was to target first responders. Law enforcement also accuses San Diego of planting a third bomb at another California business a month later.
No one was injured in any of the incidents.
The group Revolutionary Cells claimed responsibility for the attacks on a pro-animal rights website, saying that it targeted the companies because of alleged connections to Huntingdon Life Sciences, which has been condemned by animal rights activists over its use of animal testing.
Huntingdon Life Science was part of a merger in 2015 to form what is now Inotiv.
FBI Director Christopher Wray praised the arrest on Tuesday, Nov. 26, vowing that “No matter how long it takes, the FBI will find you and hold you accountable.”
The FBI had added San Diego to its “Most Wanted Terrorist” list in 2009 and offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
