Alleged Domestic Terrorist Makes FBI's Most Wanted List

Share This

An alleged animal rights extremist from the western U.S. state of California has been added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Most Wanted list.

Daniel Andreas San Diego is accused of bombing two California companies in 2003.  Both businesses were connected to Huntingdon Life Sciences, a company that conducts experiments on animals for medical and pharmaceutical industries.

No one was hurt in the blasts.  The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information directly leading to San Diego's capture.

The 31-year-old is the first domestic terror suspect added to the list of the bureau's 24 most wanted, which includes al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

The FBI says animal rights and environmental extremists have been responsible for more than 1,800 criminal acts and more than $110 million in damages.

Another U.S. citizen and California native, Adam Yahiye Gadahn, also is on the list for his overseas work with al-Qaeda.

Some information for this report was provided by AP.
