Coincidence? New FBI "Most Wanted" a Domestic Leftist Terrorist?

Here's my thoughts... Admin was criticized last week for their threat assessment that was heavy on righties... so they come out with a new FBI most wanted... a "radical" lefty.

Wasn't there an abortion clinic bomber out there or something?

An animal rights extremist wanted for allegedly bombing two San Francisco-area office buildings in 2003 has been added to our Most Wanted Terrorists list—the first domestic terrorist to be included with international terrorists such as Usama Bin Laden.

Daniel Andreas San Diego, 31, should be considered armed and dangerous. His domestic acts of terror were planned to destroy property, to cause economic hardship for the companies he targeted, and possibly to take lives—one of his bombs was laced with nails to create potentially deadly shrapnel. We are offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information directly leading to his arrest.

“We have added San Diego to the Most Wanted Terrorists list to increase public awareness about this domestic terrorist fugitive and to aid in his arrest,” said Michael J. Heimbach, Assistant Director of our Counterterrorism Division, at a press conference today at FBI Headquarters in Washington. “We will not relent until San Diego is apprehended and his potential for future acts of violence and destruction is eliminated.”


Animal rights and environmental extremism pose a significant domestic terror threat. To date, extremists have been responsible for more than 1,800 criminal acts and more than $110 million in damages. Currently, we are investigating approximately 170 such extremist incidents across the country.

San Diego, known to be involved with a group called SHAC—Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty—is wanted for his alleged involvement in bombing two biotech facilities that did business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, a company that conducts animal experimentation for the medical and pharmaceutical industries....

7. Sometimes a bone?
More like sometimes the radical right and their media machine throw us a crumb. But I can't remember that last one.

3. That link doesn't say he's "Number ONE." It just says he's been added to the list. NT

5. It also doesn't label him as a "leftie" or a "rightie"
just a person who bombs for animal rights.

well I guess I extrapolated a little... he's obviously driven by a political motivation that stems from a far left ideology. Kinda like the abortion clinic bomber but 180 degrees off.

Let me clarify that:

There are MILLIONS of people who love animals and put their money, heart, soul and sweat into the care of animals but FEW who would commit violent crimes for the cause.

8. Animal "rights" terrorists assassinated the dean of a vet school (TN?)
some years ago. They won't get any sympathy from me.

Animal "rights" terrorists have also made life a living hell for every single head of LA's Animal Services over the last 25 years, it seems like, and harrassed and threatened Animal Services employees.

Don't try to pretend they are all pure as the driven snow.
