The FBI said Wednesday it had a tip from the television show “America’s Most Wanted” that 33-year-old Daniel Andreas San Diego may be in the Northampton area. Andreas is one of 31 people on the agency’s Most Wanted Terrorists list, and there is a $250,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
The agents said they are seeking the public’s help at the request of the FBI in San Francisco.
The computer specialist from Berkeley, Calif., is accused in the bombings at biotechnology firm Chiron Corp. in Emeryville and nutrition and cosmetics company Shaklee Corp. in Pleasanton. No one was injured.

Of course, there are tons more radical Islamic terrorists out there. But there must be the perception that all terrorism is really the same, and that there are no differences. It looks to me like the FBI is just using this announcement as an opportunity to do just that.
How big a threat are animal rights activists compared to Islamic terrorists? Focusing on this one (while it would be nice to have him behind bars) is just a waste.
Massachusetts has a Jewish population in the Western area, so please make sure to notify them, and they should look over their shoulder.
This person is a real terrorist – here is the info : “On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded approximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville. Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton.”
