REUTERS: An alleged animal rights extremist can be extradited from Britain to the U.S. to stand trial over bombings linked to animal testing more than two decades ago, a London court ruled on Friday. U.S. citizen Daniel San Diego, 47, is accused in relation to bombings in California in 2003, with the so-called Revolutionary Cells of the Animal Liberation Brigade claiming responsibility. No one was injured in either of the incidents…

Lawyers representing U.S. authorities said the companies targeted had links to British firm Huntingdon Life Sciences, which was long the focus of both lawful and criminal protests for testing pharmaceuticals, chemicals and dyes on animals… The Animal Liberation Brigade said in a statement at the time: “This is the endgame for the animal killers and if you choose to stand with them you will be dealt with accordingly”…

San Diego was found in Wales in November 2024, having been on the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist list since 2009 – the first domestic terrorist on the list, alongside the likes of late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. His lawyers argued last year that he could not receive a fair trial if extradited, citing “the political capture of the criminal justice system” and the U.S. Department of Justice under President Donald Trump.
