A suspected animal rights extremist wanted in the US for bombings in the San Francisco area has been apprehended in Britain after more than two decades evading authorities. Daniel Andreas San Diego, aged 46, was arrested in a rural area in northern Wales on Monday, according to the National Crime Agency. He appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and is facing extradition.
San Diego is accused of planting two bombs that detonated on the campus of a biotechnology company in Emeryville, California, in August 2003. Another bomb, equipped with nails, was set off at a nutritional products company in Pleasanton, California, the following month. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, although the bomb at the biotechnology company was intended to harm first responders.
