The suspect in the New Orleans vehicle attack this morning has been identified as a 42-year-old US citizen from Texas, Shamsud-Din Jabbar.

He is believed to have driven a pick-up truck at high speed into large crowds, killing 15 people and leaving at least 35 others injured before he was shot dead by police.

The FBI said an Islamic State group flag was found in the vehicle and they are investigating the attack as an "act of terrorism."

Investigators say they believe the suspect was not "solely responsible" for the attack.

Potential explosive devices were found in the truck and elsewhere in the area.
