The suspect believed to have placed a pipe bomb in a Colorado mall was released from a federal prison -- where he served time for a bank robbery -- exactly one week before the botched bombing, a federal law enforcement source told CNN Sunday.

The FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force identified the subject of a nationwide manhunt as Earl Albert Moore, 65.

Authorities, who released more photos of the suspect, said he has an extensive criminal background and multiple recognizable tattoos. They also said he should be considered armed and dangerous.

According to the source, Moore was released from an unknown federal prison on April 13.

A pipe bomb device was found after a fire broke out Wednesday in a back hallway at Southwest Plaza Mall in Littleton. The shopping center was evacuated.

The photos released Sunday show a man identified as Moore with a rose tattoo on his upper right arm, a knife or dagger on his left arm and a bearded Nordic warrior on his left forearm. He was last seen wearing glasses, the task force said in a statement.
