A suspected animal rights extremist wanted in the US for bombings in the San Francisco area was arrested in Britain after more than 20 years on the run from the law, officials said Tuesday.

Daniel Andreas San Diego, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was arrested Monday in a rural area in northern Wales, the National Crime Agency said. He was ordered held in custody after appearing Tuesday in Westminster Magistrates’ Court and faces extradition.

San Diego, 46, is charged in the US with planting two bombs that exploded about an hour apart in the early morning of August 28, 2003, on the campus of a biotechnology company in Emeryville, California. He’s also accused of setting off another bomb with nails strapped to it at a nutritional products company in Pleasanton, California, a month later.

The bombings didn’t injure anyone, but authorities said the bomb at the biotechnology company was intended to harm first responders.

A group called Revolutionary Cells-Animal Liberation Brigade claimed responsibility for the bombings, citing the companies’ ties to Huntingdon Life Sciences. Huntingdon was a target of animal rights extremists because of its work with experimental drugs and chemicals on animals while under contract for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other companies.

When I externed at Children's Hospital Research center, I was warned about people like this. They said they usually stay away, because the research was for children, but one day I walked from the main building, then outside and to the research building, people were yelling and I was confused. A security guard pulled me in the door. He must have saw my scrubs and knew I was supposed to be there.

I decided research was not for me. They didnt experiment on dogs and cats, but did upsetting things to pigs and rabbits.
I wont go into detail, but I can see why people would be mad. But violence isnt the answer.

They were using the research to save children's lives.

I know hes a nutter but dont understand how he could be a top fugitive in the us.
