Stupidest jihadist yet

The Herald reports:

A Kiwi jihadist who claims to be fighting in Syria with the Islamic State has been mistakenly broadcasting his exact location after forgetting to turn off a tracking function on his phone.

Mohammad Daniel, also known as Abu Abdul Rahman, and formerly known as Mark John Taylor, has now deleted 45 posts from Twitter after discovering that he had been revealing his location to intelligence agencies and enemies keeping tabs on him.

Hilarious. His tweets are giving away his location.

In 2009, Daniel was arrested by Pakistan authorities while trying to gain access to an al-Qaeda and Taleban stronghold close to the Afghanistan border and was subsequently subjected to travel restrictions by the New Zealand Government.

It is worth noting that in 2009 he claimed not to be a jihadist:

He had been arrested trying to enter the al-Qaeda stronghold of Wana in Pakistan.

Mr Taylor told TV3’s 60 Minutes programme last night he went there only to find a Muslim wife.

“I didn’t have a death wish I was just looking for a lady for marriage.

“It was my mistake. People might call me stupid and dumb for making that mistake but that’s my problem.”

People with malignant motives, will of course lie about their motives. He’s now happy fighting with the Islamic State as they butcher infidels.
