New Orleans attack was 'premeditated act of terrorism'
The FBI says it now believes that no-one else was involved in the deadly New Orleans attack.
The FBI now says the man who carried out Wednesday's deadly attack in New Orleans was acting alone, and members of the public are not in any danger. It confirmed that Shamsud-Din Jabbar - a US-born military veteran - had declared his support for Islamic State militants, and the attack was a premeditated act of terrorism. We have the latest from a local journalist, and we speak to our jihadism expert about the ISIS operatives around the world.
We also hear from residents in New Orleans about how their city has been affected by the attack.
Police in the US state of Texas have been combing through evidence at the home of the suspect. We speak to a local journalist there.
