A suspect linked with a series of deadly parcel bombs targeting the Texan city of Austin is dead after a major police operation, officials say.

The man was killed after detonating a device when officers approached his car off a highway in the city of Round Rock, north of the state capital.

He has been named by US media as Mark Anthony Conditt, aged 23.

The incident follows four bomb attacks in Austin and one in Schertz, 65 miles (104km) south.
