Kiwi jihadi mistakenly broadcasts his location

Wellington, Dec 31: A jihadi from New Zealand who has links with the Al Qaeda and has taken up arms in Syria, mistakenly broadcasted his exact location after forgetting to turn off a tracking function on his phone, media reported Wednesday. Mohammad Daniel, alias Abu Abdul Rahman, formerly known as Mark John Taylor, has now deleted 45 posts from his Twitter account after finding that he had been revealing his location to intelligence agencies and others keeping tabs on him, the New Zealand Herald reported. Experts say such information is invaluable in helping investigators establish links that foreign fighters have with terrorist groups. Daniel's mistake was spotted by Canada-based open source intelligence research group iBRABO.
