FBI Director’s Statement on Arrest of FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Daniel San Diego
November 26, 2024
Washington, D.C. – Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray announced the arrest of Daniel San Diego, one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists.
San Diego, a 35-year-old U.S. citizen, was taken into custody yesterday in Tijuana, Mexico, by Mexican authorities working in close cooperation with the FBI. He is currently being held in Mexico City and is expected to be extradited to the United States in the coming days.
According to Director Wray, San Diego is a known associate of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and has been linked to several terrorist plots in the United States and abroad. He is accused of providing material support to ISIS, including recruiting new members, fundraising, and planning attacks.
“San Diego is a dangerous terrorist who posed a significant threat to the United States and our allies,” said Director Wray. “His arrest is a major victory for law enforcement and a testament to the close cooperation between the FBI and its international partners.”
The FBI had been searching for San Diego for several years. He was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists List in 2021 after he was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York on charges of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering, conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, and other related offenses.
Director Wray thanked the Mexican authorities for their assistance in apprehending San Diego. He also praised the work of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which played a key role in tracking down San Diego and coordinating his arrest.
“The arrest of Daniel San Diego shows that we will not rest until we have brought to justice all those who seek to harm innocent lives,” said Director Wray. “We will continue to work tirelessly to keep the United States safe from the threat of terrorism.”
