A suspected double bomber on the FBI's most wanted list who vanished for 21 years is due in court this week to decide if he will be sent back to the United States to face trial.
The FBI believes Daniel Andreas San Diego has links to animal rights extremist groups and is their prime suspect for a series of bombings in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2003.
Former FBI agents have said there were missed opportunities to arrest the 47-year-old before he vanished and claim they found a suspected bomb-making factory in his abandoned car after what detectives called a 65-mile (104km) rush-hour chase in California.
Mr San Diego was found 5,000 miles (8,000km) away in a cottage in north Wales last year.
He was arrested in November 2024, with a $250,000 (£199,000) bounty on his head. The former fugitive is facing extradition hearings in London to answer a federal arrest warrant linked to charges of using explosives in connection with terrorist activities.
San Diego, who is the first born-and-raised American on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list, was indicted for maliciously damaging and destroying property via explosives after two attacks in 2003.
Animal rights extremist group Revolutionary Cells - Animal Liberation Brigade claimed responsibility for the attacks on firms related to animal testing.
Former FBI Special Agent David Smith noted Mr San Diego was remarkable by being unremarkable and that there were no indications he was violent prior to his attacks.
San Diego's capture highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in tracking individuals who evade capture. The FBI now reaffirms its commitment to pursuing fugitives, regardless of how long it takes.
