**One of America's Most Wanted Arrested in Wales After Two Decades on the Run**

Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, one of America’s most wanted men, has been arrested in north Wales after evading capture for over 20 years. The arrest took place on Monday, according to the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA).

San Diego was apprehended in a secluded area above Maenan in Conwy Valley, located in Conwy County. The FBI, which has been on his trail since 2003, suspects San Diego of involvement in bombings at two San Francisco office buildings nearly two decades ago, and plans to extradite him to the United States to face charges.

The FBI categorized San Diego as an "animal rights extremist," accusing him of orchestrating two bombings in 2003. In August of that year, two bombs detonated an hour apart at a biotechnology company. The following month, a nail bomb exploded at a nutritional products company. These acts prompted the FBI to classify him as a "domestic terrorist," placing him on their most wanted terrorist list. The FBI warned the public that he should be considered "armed and dangerous."

San Diego has demonstrated proficiency in sailing and has traveled internationally, which complicated efforts to locate him. The FBI’s offer of a $250,000 reward for information leading to his arrest indicates the significant resources dedicated to apprehending him. For years, agents believed he might have been living in Costa Rica.

The last known sighting of San Diego by the authorities was in 2003, when FBI agents lost track of him in downtown San Francisco. According to Agent David Johnson, San Diego disappeared after entering a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station.

Former FBI agent Andrew Black emphasized the gravity with which the bureau regarded bombings during that period. The case gained particular interest following the successful resolution of the high-profile Unabomber investigation.

San Diego's inclusion on the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list dates back to a directive from then-President George W. Bush, who established the list shortly after the September 11 attacks. The list aims to highlight individuals involved in terrorism-related activities, making their identities known to the public. Initially, the list featured 22 names, including notorious figures like Osama bin Laden. As of now, it contains 24 individuals, with Daniel Andreas San Diego among the most recent captures.

San Diego’s arrest follows a significant investigation backed by counter-terrorism police, ending a manhunt that traces back nearly two decades.
