Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, who was wanted in connection with three bombings in California in 2003, was arrested on Monday, the bureau said in a statement.
“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,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said.
“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.”
San Diego was charged in connection with a bomb blast at biotechnology firm Chiron Inc near Oakland, California, in August 2003. A second bomb found there was deactivated by authorities and possibly intended to target first responders.
