New-Zealand English teacher-turned-terrorist Mark Taylor, who shot into the public eye last year after publicly burning his Kiwi passport and then asking for a new one has blundered again by apparently forgetting to turn off geo-location services on his smartphone while tweeting from Islamic State safe houses in Syria.
The terrorist, who changed his name to the more appropriate-sounding ‘Abu Abdul-Rahman’ uploaded a series of tweets during his travels across the Islamic State, updating his twitter following on his progress with ISIS. The Daily Mail reports a Canadian jihad-monitoring group recorded 45 of these tweets containing geo-location data and passed the information on to intelligence agencies.
Describing the blunder, Canadian monitoring group IBRABO said: “It’s a rookie social media mistake and one that intelligence and law enforcement agencies pray for when tracking criminals. This week one of New Zealand’s well known jihadists, Mark Taylor removed 45 tweets after he discovered that he was broadcasting his twitter location to every intelligence agency… Unfortunately for him we captured all of them prior to him removing the tweets”.
“Taylor isn’t the first jihadist to broadcast his whereabouts via social media and in fact looking at the battlefield in Syria we see fighters from Canada, France, and other western countries making the same mistake”.

Cool, but why are our news agencies blowing the whistle on this?
The answer is obvious.

Yep, that's what I think. But why allow this info to go public?

Possibly to get him into trouble, possibly to make ISIS insecure about their new recruits. Could be either one.
“...where’s the ka-boom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering ka-boom!...”
“...What a marooon...”

Right on the money Mr B.

Yeah, I don’t know if they shoulda reported that.
Oh, my! This is precious.
One shouldn’t hope for such a thing, but.. No, the Bible says I shouldn’t.
The information is either already useless or someone was very stupid to let this information out.
Loose lips stikes ISIS.
Allah says if you can’t use your head you can’t keep it.
“Why would our national defense/CIA agents broadcast this information?”
Why do you think they did?
We shouldn't be reading about it until it becomes common knowledge among ISIS and the behavior stops. In other words, there should be years of drone strikes before we read about it.
