Kiwi jihadi wants to start cannabis company in NZ

On Wednesday, RNZ spoke to the New Zealand journalist Campbell Macdiarmid who interviewed the so-called New Zealand jihadi Mark Taylor in a Kurdish prison in Syria. Today we can bring you some excerpts from that interview which has appeared in The National newspaper. The interview ranges from why he wanted to go to Syria to what his role was there and how he became disillusioned with life under Isis. But he also explained it wasn't the executions that made him leave Isis.
