Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, and a graduate of San Rafael’s Terra Linda High School, had been sought by authorities since 2003. Authorities said he was involved in the bombings of companies in Emeryville and Pleasanton almost exactly a month apart.

Documents released by authorities in December 2003 showed that authorities found what appeared to be bomb-making materials in San Diego’s Honda Civic while placing tracking devices after the bombing. The materials matched those used in the bombings in both Emeryville and Pleasanton.
