FBI Seeks California
Animal Rights Fugitive
in Costa Rica
A manhunt continues in
Costa Rica for Marin
County animal rights
fugitive Daniel Andreas
San Diego, the computer
whiz accused of bombing
two East Bay
corporations with ties
to animal testing, US
authorities said
Tuesday.
San Diego, 30, a
graduate of Terra Linda
High School and son of a
former Belvedere city
manager, has been at
large since becoming a
suspect in the 2003
bombings, when pipe
bombs exploded at the
Chiron Corp. in
Emeryville and at the
Shaklee Corp. in
Pleasanton. No one was
hurt.
Authorities said they
believe they are getting
closer to catching San
Diego, a former computer
network specialist who
they suspect is hiding
in the Costa Rica. The
FBI has not said what
led them to believe that
San Diego is here, but a
source said it is likely
authorities intercepted
a telephone call from
him to friends or
family.
The FBI is offering a
us$250,000 reward for
information leading to
the capture of San
Diego.
"We're confident it will
be just a matter of time
before Mr. San Diego is
apprehended and brought
back to face the
charges," FBI Special
Agent Joe Schadler said.
The comments came as the
FBI continued its probe
into two firebomb
incidents in Santa Cruz
last weekend. In both
cases, University of
California researchers
were targeted.
The first incident
occurred around 5:45
a.m. Saturday, igniting
the porch of professor
David Feldheim's home.
The researcher, his wife
and two children escaped
from a second-story
window. Feldheim's home,
which was vandalized
last winter, was listed
in animal rights
pamphlets that
threatened University of
California at Santa Cruz
researchers, according
to police.
A short time later, the
car of another
university researcher
was firebombed outside a
faculty housing area on
campus. No one has
claimed responsibility.
Police said the
incidents follow several
attacks by "suspected
animal rights
extremists" since March
31, including the
firebombing of a police
vehicle. |
