One of FBI’s most wanted terrorists has been located and arrested in the UK after 20 years on the run. Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, was apprehended by the UK National Crime Agency in the Conwy area of Wales. San Diego had been wanted for two bombings in the San Francisco area back in 2003, according to a report from the Mirror.
Christopher Wray, the Director of the FBI, commended San Diego’s arrest and emphasized that the agency will diligently pursue criminals regardless of the time that has passed. Wray stated, “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.” The bombings occurred at the offices of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville and a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton, with San Diego indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of California in 2004.
San Diego was known to have ties to militant animal rights groups, and he was labeled as “armed and dangerous” on the FBI’s official Most Wanted website. The arrest in the UK marks a significant step towards justice for the crimes committed by San Diego, as well as a testament to the unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies in tracking down fugitives.
