Better late than never, I guess?

The FBI has warned it will always 'find you and hold you accountable' after tracking down one of its 'most wanted terrorists' after nearly two decades.

On Monday (November 25), the UK's National Crime Agency and Counter Terrorism Police revealed they managed to apprehend 46-year-old Daniel Andreas San Diego from Berkeley, California.

San Diego is one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives and has been on the run from authorities for nearly 20 years with a $250,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest.

Why was Daniel Andreas San Diego on the FBI Most Wanted list?

San Diego, who is alleged to have links to extreme animal rights organisations, is suspected of setting off two bombs in the San Francisco area in August 2003.

The FBI report states: "On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded approximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville. Then on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional product corporation in Pleasanton, San Diego was indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, in July of 2004."

An NCA spokesman said: “On Monday 25 November 2024, officers from the National Crime Agency, supported by colleagues from Counter Terrorism Policing and North Wales Police, arrested Daniel Andreas San Diego, aged 46, in the Conwy area of Wales, at the request of the US authorities. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court today (26 November) as extradition proceedings began. He was remanded in custody.”

The FBI director, Christopher Wray, said in a statement shared to Facebook: “Daniel San Diego’s arrest after more than 20 years as a fugitive for two bombings in the San Francisco area shows that no matter how long it takes, the FBI will find you and hold you accountable.

“There’s a right way and a wrong way to express your views in our country, and turning to violence and destruction of property is not the right way.”
