A reward in the amount of $250,000 has been issued for a Berkeley animal rights activist wanted in connection with the 2003 bombings of two Bay Area corporations, the FBI announced today.

Daniel Andreas San Diego, 27, is considered armed and dangerous, according to Joe Ford, special agent in charge of the San Francisco office.

San Diego is wanted for allegedly being involved with bombing the Emeryville offices of the Chiron Corporation twice on Aug. 28, 2003 and a bombing at Shaklee Corporation in Pleasanton on Sept. 26, 2003, according to the FBI.

No one was hurt in the blasts, which caused minor damage.

In 2003, animal rights group Revolutionary Cells claimed responsibility for the explosions, stating that both corporations did business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, a New Jersey company that conducts product tests on animals.

An activist with ties to animal rights groups, San Diego is known to travel internationally, to possess a 9mm handgun and to be a strict vegan, Ford said. San Diego is a white man, weighing 160 pounds, 6 feet tall and has brown hair and eyes.

The FBI states that San Diego also has several distinguishing tattoos, including a round shape approximately five inches in diameter in the color of burning hillsides/plains in the center of his chest" as well as "progressive scenes in black and white of destroyed/burned buildings on his left abdomen, a leafless tree in the center of his lower back, and burning yet still standing buildings on the right side of his lower back.
