Daniel Andreas San Diego, 47, was one of the agency's “most wanted fugitives” after two bombings in the San Francisco area of California in 2003.

He was detained by officers from the National Crime Agency, supported by Counter Terrorism Policing and North Wales Police, at a property in a rural area next to woodland in Conwy on November 25 last year.

San Diego appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for his extradition hearing yesterday.

On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded about one hour apart on the campus of the Chiron biotechnology corporation in Emeryville, California, the FBI previously said.

Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at the Shaklee nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton, California.
