FBI fugitive found in tiny Welsh village: Could Quiet ‘Danny’ really be a wanted eco-terrorist?
Daniel Andreas San Diego, a fugitive wanted by the FBI for his involvement in two 2003 San Francisco bombings in which no one was injured, was arrested in a remote Welsh village more than 20 years after going on the run.
Neighbors had no idea that the quiet vegetarian was on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list for his alleged involvement in bombings targeting biotech and nutrition companies in California.
Known to locals as “Danny,” he lived in a £425,000 bungalow in Maenana, a quiet area in the Conwy Valley, and led a Unabomber-like low-profile lifestyle, proving once again that eco-terrorists are best found in quiet rural areas.
