Daniel Andreas San Diego on Wrong Most Wanted List?

Animal Rights Activist and Alleged Bomber Makes U.S. Most Wanted Terrorist List, Not Most Wanted

Carly Hart
With recent stirrings of outrage by veterans groups over the leaking of a controversial Homeland Security report on right wing extremism, as reported by Sylvia Cochran, the addition of animal rights activist, Daniel Andreas San Diego, to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist List is raising eyebrows. The FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list carries 24 individuals in addition to Daniel Andreas San Diego, with the majority of them being of Middle Eastern descent. Familiar names like Osama Bin Laden grace the list, as well as Adam Gadahn, an American citizen charged with treason for aiding and abetting al Qaeda.

Daniel Andreas San Diego, alleged domestic terrorist, now on Most Wanted Terrorist list

According to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist website, Daniel Andreas San Diego is wanted in connection with the bombing of two office buildings, dating back to 2003. He has been on the lam since then, though authorities believe he may be in Costa Rica. Ironically enough, Obama himself has ties to former Weather Underground members, domestic terrorists from the 1970s, who did kill innocent victims with their bombings. Of note, Mr. San Diego's alleged bombings did not kill anyone. President Obama did not seem to be turned off by his friends' past stint as domestic terrorists. Would Obama support the addition of William Ayers to the list if new evidence were to surface?

$250,000 reward for Daniel Andreas San Diego's capture

Mr. San Diego is such a threat after six years in relative obscurity that the FBI has added him to the Most Wanted Terrorist list. However, the bounty for information leading to the apprehension of Mr. San Diego is up to a mere $250,000. Of the 24 individuals listed on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list, a full 19 have a reward of up to $5 Million dollars. Two, including Osama Bin Laden, would bring the princely sum of up to $25 Million. One of the 24 is worth up to $1 Million and another on the Most Wanted Terrorist List has no reward listed. Of all of the men listed on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list, Daniel Andreas San Diego rates the least lucrative reward. Was he added due to the left wing/right wing extremist reports, or for another reason altogether?

II find it odd that the government would take the drastic step as adding a dormant domestic terrorist to the list after so much time has passed. Is it possible that the U.S. government wants the animal rights activist and computer network specialist apprehended not because of domestic terrorism, but for another alleged crime of significant nature which has not been disclosed to the media due to national security interests?

  • No one was killed in San Diego's alleged bombings.
  • He's been dormant for 6 years.
  • He's a computer network specialist, which is of note.
Computer hacking is on the rise, and domestic terrorism is not, causing one to wonder if there's another reason the computer network specialist rates a spot on the list.

    Not sure about this guy being a domestic terrorist (or whatever it is called today), but as anti-abotionist I take offense to the DHS report.

    Interesting ideas here. You make an excellent point about Ayers.

    Fascibnating theory,great report.

    I don't know, maybe I am a conspiracy theorist, but I kind of wonder if this is like arresting and jailing someone for a lesser crime so they could have time to gather evidence to nab them for a more heinous one.

    Thank you for the mention and the link back! :) You bring up some very interesting questions in your article. I wonder if there are going to be a number of folks caught up in this web of homegrown terrorists who may be overlooked on the most wanted lists.
