A woman charged as an eco-terrorist in Sacramento, Oregon and Colorado, and who has been an international fugitive for 10 years, surrendered to the FBI Thursday.
By prearrangement, Rebecca Jeanette Rubin, a Canadian citizen, was taken into custody at the international border in Blaine, Wash.
After an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Rubin will be transferred in custody to Eugene to face trial in the largest eco-terrorism prosecution in U.S. history.
Rubin, 39, is under indictment separately in Sacramento federal court, charged with conspiracy, arson, and using a destructive device in an Oct. 15, 2001, fire at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's wild horse and burro facility near Susanville.
