FBI To Make Announcement On Wanted NorCal Animal Rights Activist Suspected In Bombings

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — FBI officials in Massachusetts will be making an announcement about an animal rights activist wanted in the 2003 bombings at two corporate offices in northern California, but say the suspect isn't in custody.

The FBI scheduled a news conference in Springfield Wednesday afternoon about 33-year-old Daniel Andreas San Diego, one of 31 people on the agency's Most Wanted Terrorists list. An FBI spokesman says San Diego hasn't been arrested but won't provide any other details.

The computer specialist from Berkeley, Calif., is accused in the bombings at biotechnology firm Chiron Corp. in Emeryville and nutrition and cosmetics company Skaklee Corp. in Pleasanton. No one was injured.

A group calling itself "Revolutionary Cells" took responsibility, saying the companies were targeted for their ties to a research company that experimented on animals.
