Daniel Andreas San Diego faces extradition to the US, more than 20 years after he was accused of two bombings in the San Francisco area. It's understood he was arrested near woodland in North Wales.

Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, was one of the FBI's "most wanted terrorists" for two bombings in the San Francisco area in 2003.

Two bombs exploded about one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville, California, in August that year, according to the agency.

Then, in September of the same year, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton, also California.

According to the FBI, San Diego has ties to "animal rights extremist groups" and there was a reward of $250,000 (£199,000) for information leading directly to his arrest.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said: "There's a right way and a wrong way to express your views in our country, and turning to violence and destruction of property is not the right way."
