FBI Needs Public’s Assistance in Locating Fugitive
Chiron Bomber Daniel Andreas San Diego

Daniel Andreas San Diego, the Sonoma man responsible for bombing two Bay Area biotech firms in 2003 remains at large four years later, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for anyone with information concerning his whereabouts.

Four years ago yesterday, on August 28, 2003, San Diego planted two bombs at the offices of Chiron, Incorporated in Emeryville, California.  The first bomb detonated early in the morning, but the second bomb—intended to kill or injure first responders—was located and the area was cleared before it went off.  Less than a month later, on September 26, 2003, San Diego planted another bomb at the Shaklee Corporation in Pleasanton, California.

A federal arrest warrant was issued for San Diego’s arrest on October 5, 2003, but he disappeared before he could be taken into custody.  In January 2006, the FBI offered a $250,000 reward for information leading directly to the arrest of San Diego, but he remains a fugitive today.

At the time of his flight San Diego was a committed vegan.  If he has maintained this discipline, people around him may notice that he avoids consuming or wearing anything made with animal products.

Although he may have altered his appearance in some way, San Diego has several distinctive tattoos on his body.  Because of the unique nature of the tattoos on his chest, stomach, and back, he may be obviously reluctant to remove his shirt, even in situations where it is the norm.

Due to the sensitivity of explosive materials, individuals engaged in the unlawful manufacture and storage of explosives pose a particular risk to themselves and the public.  Accidental detonations with disastrous consequences are common among bomb makers.  Daniel Andreas San Diego is wanted in connection with two bombings and those around may be in grave danger.

San Diego is a known activist with ties to animal rights groups.  He wears eye glasses, travels internationally, and possesses a 9mm handgun.  He is described as follows:

DOB:                February 9, 1978
Place of Birth:    Berkeley, CA
Height:              6’0”
Weight:             160 lbs
Hair:                 Brown
Eyes:                Brown
Sex:                 Male
Race:                White

Daniel Andreas San Diego should be considered ARMED AND DANGEROUS.  If you have information concerning his whereabouts, please do not take any independent action, but rather immediately notify local law enforcement or the FBI.  The most recent wanted poster can be viewed at http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/fugitives/dt/sandiego_da.htm.
