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”.

This should get him real good with his boss.
We shouldn’t be hearing about it. There should be several “ka-booms”.
This fool will probably be decapitated by his new friends, the Muslim savages.
Why would our national defense/CIA agents broadcast this information?
Now called ISIS UnSafe Houses.
Shouldn’t we have read about 45 drone strikes BEFORE this story came out?

-—Shouldn’t we have read about 45 drone strikes
-—BEFORE this story came out?
Idiots!
Not very smart for a teacher.
You mean, undercover Mossad agent Taylor?
One could imagine releasing/publishing this information was a heads-up to ISIS to find new safe houses BEFORE the drone strikes commenced.
Exactly. They should show previous locations of his tweets with a satalite photo of bombed out locations. (After the fact of course).
Mark Taylor, meet Jonathan Gruber.
Obama is just finding out about this today as it is finally in the news. I’m sure we are late to react.... AGAIN!
Sort of like a certain member of Congress admitting to the press that we were tracking Osama in the early days via his cell phone transmissions. Cell phone transmissions went dead and set back efforts for months, if not years.
Based on his several blunders, perhaps his name should be changed to Abu Boo Boo.
ISIS thanks Breitbart for the heads-up.
