'You can run but you can't hide' - fugitive expert

Daniel Andreas San Diego, one of America's most wanted men, was captured in north Wales this week.

The 46-year-old was wanted by the FBI for allegedly bombing two office buildings in San Francisco in 2003.

But out of all the countries in the world, why Wales?

“If you're trying to evade capture, you might as well be somewhere that's stunning and beautiful," said former undercover detective Peter Bleksley.
