New Zealand tells 'bumbling jihadi' he's on his own.
A New Zealander dubbed"the bumbling jihadi" can expect little help from his homeland after being captured in Syria by forces fighting the Islamic State group, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern warned Monday.
Prime Minister Ardern ruled out stripping Taylor of his New Zealand citizenship because he is not a dual citizen and so has no alternative. "We have no connection with the forces detaining him, so it's difficult for us to provide information," she said, adding that Taylor would likely have to contact New Zealand officials in Turkey if he hoped to eventually return home.
Ardern said New Zealand was not obliged to give Taylor legal representation if he was charged overseas, nor did it have to pay his way home.
