FBI Hopes Distinctive Tattoos Will Lead Them to Suspect Animal Rights Bomber

The FBI is hoping that two distinctive tattoos will lead them to suspected animal rights bomber Daniel Andreas San Diego.

San Diego, 27, is the only named suspect in the 2003 bombings of Chiron Corp. and Shaklee Corp.

The FBI obtained an arrest warrant for San Diego in October 2003, but he eluded their surveillance and he has not been heard from since.

In their investigation of San Diego, FBI investigators learned that he has a black-and-white tattoo of a building in ruins with flames in the background on his stomach, and a colored burning pastoral scene in the center of his chest.

In April, the FBI released the following artists rendering of the tattoos:

The FBI is offering a reward of $50,000 for information leading directly to San Diego’s arrest and anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact their local FBI office or American embassy or consulate.

San Diego is believed to be armed and dangerous and is known to possess a 9mm handgun according to the FBI.
