Austin bomber: Deceased suspect named in Texas blasts

Police have named the suspect they say carried out a deadly series of parcel bombs in the Texas City of Austin as Mark Anthony Conditt, 23. 

He was killed after detonating an explosive as officers approached his car following a chase in Round Rock, north of the Texas state capital.

Officials say he lived about 30 kilometres from Austin in a shared home. 

Investigators say with a "reasonable level of certainty" there are no more devices to endanger the public. 

Police told reporters that Conditt - suspected of five blasts that killed two people and injured six others, made a video confession on his phone. 

The 25-minute clip was recovered from the handset after he blew himself up on Wednesday as police closed in.
