Edward Pettifer, a 31-year-old man from Chelsea, London, has been named as the British citizen killed in the New Year terror attack in New Orleans. Pettifer died from blunt force injuries sustained when army veteran Shamsud Din Jabbar rammed his rental truck through crowds on Bourbon Street. The FBI has confirmed the attack was premeditated and inspired by ISIS, with an Islamic State flag found in Jabbar's truck.
Police have named the British citizen confirmed as one of the 14 people killed in the chilling New Year terror attack in New Orleans .
This statement was made after an Islamic State flag was found in the back of Jabbar's rental truck, leading the FBI to probe the 42-year-old's ties to the extremist group and begin a hunt for potential accomplices.

It remains unclear exactly what motivated Jabbar, but reports suggest his life had gone off the rails after he quit the Army in July 2020. The cash-strapped father and double divorcee's real estate business was floundering. Its mosques, which were founded by Pakistani immigrants from the 1960s onward, are used as polling stations; leaders publicly proclaim a moderate form of Islam compatible with modern-day US lifestyles.
Bouchikhi has a record of making extreme statements about non-Muslims and women that are at odds with ISGH's professed values.
