The FBI stated that San Diego is wanted in connection with an August 28, 2003 incident where “two bombs explodedapproximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville.”

“Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton,” the FBI added. “San Diego was indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, in July of 2004.”

TheLos Angeles Timesreported that the first two bombs were planted at biotech firm Chiron Inc. The outlet added that the first bomb went off in the early hours of the morning and the second went off an hour later. Due to the second bomb being located ahead of the explosion, however, the area was cleared ahead of time.

Per the outlet, an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 5, 2003, but San Diego disappeared before entering custody.

“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 Wraysaid in a statement.

“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,” he added.
