DENVER (AP) -- At least three crude bombs exploded and two others were disarmed Friday at the homes of people who work for an FAA contractor in Grand Junction, prompting evacuation of the air traffic control tower at the city airport, officials said.

No injuries were reported and there were no delays at the airport.

The bombs were placed at homes of people who work for Serco Group Plc., which operates Grand Junction's air traffic control tower, said Steve Christmas, the company's vice president for aviation operations. Police asked residents to help them find a former employee they described as a ''person of interest.''

A two-count criminal complaint was filed Tuesday in federal court in Iowa, charging the student with using bombs to maliciously destroy property and to "commit a crime of violence" that injured a woman in rural Tipton. (Read the charges in Iowa -- FindLaw PDF)

Conviction on that offense could result in a life prison sentence.

Similar federal charges were filed against him in Illinois. (Read the charges in Illinois -- FindLaw PDF) In Nebraska, he faces another federal charge of interstate transportation of explosives. In Nevada, he faces a federal charge of possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime.

During the first court appearance Wednesday for the clean-cut college student and one-time rock band member, Denney said police seized a shotgun loaded with a single round from Helder's car following a high-speed chase on an interstate in Nevada.

Denney said the suspect told authorities he purchased the gun intending to take his life.
