One of FBI's most wanted terrorists has been found in the UK after 20 years on the run.

The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) arrested Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, in the Conwy area of Wales on Monday after he was wanted for two bombings in the San Francisco area in 2003, reports the Mirror.

Christopher Wray, The Director of the FBI, said San Diego's arrest showed that the US government agency will track down criminals "no matter how long it takes". He said: “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. 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.”

Two bombs exploded around one hour apart at the offices of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville on August 28, 2003. On September 26 the same year, a bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton. San Diego was indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, in July of 2004.

He was known to have connections to militant animal rights groups. On the FBI's official Most Wanted website, his listing read: "Should be considered armed and dangerous."
