Ex-activist says FBI offered him deal to inform on fugitive arrested in Wales

Peter Young says agency sought information from him about Daniel Andreas San Diego, who was on most wanted terrorists' list

A former animal rights activist who was on the run from the FBI for more than seven years claims that he was offered a deal to inform on one of the organisation's most wanted fugitives who was arrested this week in Wales.

Peter Young, 47, who now lives in Boulder, Colorado, went on the run after being indicted in 1998 over a string of fur farm raids across three states the previous year. He was jailed in the US for two years in 2005 after spending years hiding from the FBI in the UK.
