A manhunt continues in Costa Rica for Marin County animal rights fugitive Daniel Andreas San Diego, the computer whiz accused of bombing two East Bay corporations with ties to animal testing, authorities said Tuesday.
San Diego, 30, a graduate of Terra Linda High School and son of a former Belvedere city manager, has been at large since becoming a suspect in the 2003 bombings, when pipe bombs exploded at the Chiron Corp. in Emeryville and at the Shaklee Corp. in Pleasanton. No one was hurt.

A manhunt continues in Costa Rica for Marin County animal rights fugitive Daniel Andreas San Diego, the computer whiz accused of bombing two East Bay corporations with ties to animal testing, authorities said Tuesday.
San Diego, 30, a graduate of Terra Linda High School and son of a former Belvedere city manager, has been at large since becoming a suspect in the 2003 bombings, when pipe bombs exploded at the Chiron Corp. in Emeryville and at the Shaklee Corp. in Pleasanton. No one was hurt.
Authorities said they believe they are getting closer to catching San Diego, a former computer network specialist who they suspect is hiding in the South American country. The FBI has not said what led them to believe that San Diego is there, but a source said it is likely authorities intercepted a telephone call from him to friends or family, according to A.M. Costa Rica, a daily newspaper in the country's capital, San Jose.
The FBI is offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to the capture of San Diego.
"We're confident it will be just a matter of time before Mr. San Diego is apprehended and brought back to face the charges," FBI Special Agent Joe Schadler said.
The comments came as the FBI continued its probe into two firebomb incidents in Santa Cruz last weekend. In both cases, University of California researchers were targeted.
The first incident occurred around 5:45 a.m. Saturday, igniting the porch of professor David Feldheim's home. The researcher, his

wife and two children escaped from a second-story window. Feldheim's home, which was vandalized last winter, was listed in animal rights pamphlets that threatened University of California at Santa Cruz researchers, according to police.
A short time later, the car of another university researcher was firebombed outside a faculty housing area on campus. No one has claimed responsibility.
Police said the incidents follow several attacks by "suspected animal rights extremists" since March 31, including the firebombing of a police vehicle.
