ISLAMIC State has no one to blame but themselves after they allegedly recruited a Kiwi who accidentally broadcast their locations to every intelligence agency on Twitter.
One of New Zealand's best-known alleged jihadists, Mark Taylor, removed 45 tweets after he realised he was broadcasting his location through geotag tracking, Canadian open source intelligence research group iBRABO reported.
Luckily for us, iBRABO managed to screenshot the tweets before Taylor deleted them.

Using Taylor's twitter activities, the researchers at iBRABO were able to line up his broadcasts with specific events.
"Examining Taylor's overall twitter broadcast activities we see that in October of this year he was fighting with ISIS in Kafar Roma, an area which the Syrian Army confirmed had been occupied by pockets of foreign fighters from ISIS," they wrote.

"From his broadcasts during the first two weeks in October we know that his tweets ceased about the same time the Syrian army made a strong push into the area."
"Examining the numerous tweets that Taylor put out during his time in Al Tabqah we were able to identify one specific house that Taylor predominantly used from the 3rd to the 10th of December 2014 in the south west part of the city."
Taylor is not the first jihadist to broadcast their location over social media with fighters from Canada, France and other western countries making the same mistake on Syrian battlefields.
