For the first time, an accused domestic terrorist is being added to the FBI's list of "Most Wanted" terror suspects.
Daniel Andreas San Diego, a 31-year-old computer specialist from Berkeley, Calif., is wanted for the 2003 bombings of two corporate offices in California.
Authorities describe San Diego as an animal rights activist who turned to bomb attacks and say he has tattoo that proclaims, "It only takes a spark."
San Diego would be the 24th person on the list, and the only domestic terror suspect.
The move to add a domestic, left-wing terrorist to the list comes only days after the Obama administration was criticized for internal reports suggesting some military veterans could be susceptible to right-wing extremist recruiters or commit lone acts of violence. That prompted angry reactions from some lawmakers and veterans groups.
An arrest warrant was issued for San Diego after the 2003 bombings in northern California of the corporate offices of Chiron Corp., a biotechnology firm, and at Shaklee Corp., a nutrition and cosmetics company. The explosions caused minor damages and no injuries.
A group calling itself "Revolutionary Cells" took responsibility for the blasts, telling followers in a series of e-mails that Chiron and Shaklee had been targeted for their ties to a research company that conducted drug and chemical experiments on animals.
Officials have offered a US$250,000 reward for information leading to his capture, five times the reward amounts offered for other so-called eco-terrorists wanted in the US.
In February, the FBI announced San Diego may be living in Costa Rica, possibly working with Americans or people who speak English in the Central American country.
Law enforcement officials describe San Diego as a strict vegan who possesses a 9mm handgun. On his abdomen, he has images of burning and collapsing buildings.
The FBI's "Most Wanted" terrorist list is distinct from the much longer-running "Ten Most Wanted" list. Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is on both.

美國聯邦調查局（FBI）首次將本國的一名恐怖分子列入其頭號恐怖嫌疑分子名單。
31歲的丹尼爾?安德烈斯?圣地亞哥是加利福尼亞州伯克利市的一名電腦專家。他因涉嫌策劃2003年加州兩家公司的炸彈爆炸事件而被通緝。
官方稱圣地亞哥是一名動物權益保護極端分子，制造過炸彈襲擊事件，并稱他身體上有一處紋身寫道“只需一個火花就解決了”。
圣地亞哥將成為FBI頭號恐怖分子名單上的第24人，而且是唯一一位國內的恐怖嫌犯。
就在將這名美國本土的左翼恐怖分子列入黑名單的幾天前，奧巴馬政府還因發布一份內部報告受到批評，該報告指出一些老兵可能會成為國內右翼極端勢力的招募對象或者從事單獨的暴力活動。這份報告引起了一些立法者和老兵團體的不滿。
2003年，圣地亞哥分別在加州北部的一家生物技術公司（Chiron Corp.）和一家營養和化妝品公司（Shaklee Corp.）策劃了炸彈爆炸事件，兩起事件均造成輕微損害，無人員傷亡。事件發生后，FBI即對圣地亞哥發布了逮捕令。
一個自稱“革命細胞”的團體為爆炸案件的主謀，該組織通過一系列電子郵件告訴其追隨者，Chiron和Shaklee公司被列為襲擊目標，以為他們與一家用動物做藥品和化學實驗的科研公司有聯系。
FBI懸賞25萬美元尋找緝拿圣地亞哥的線索，這個數目為美國國內其他所謂的“生態恐怖分子”的五倍。
FBI于今年二月宣布圣地亞哥可能生活在哥斯達黎加一帶，可能在中美洲國家與美國人或說英語的人一起工作。
執法人員稱圣地亞哥是一個嚴格的素食主義者，擁有一支9毫米口徑的手槍，腹部有大樓燃燒倒塌的圖像。
FBI的“頭號恐怖分子名單”不同于較早前發布的“十大恐怖分子名單”。但基地組織頭目奧薩馬?本-拉登都在兩者之列。
