Subject: Official Information Act request - Of the Troops trained in the middle east by NZ have any joined Islamic State

Dear Ministry of Defence,

Of the Troops trained in the middle east by NZ troops have any of the trained troops joined to fight for the Islamic State and if so how many?

Is there any way that we could look at the troops we have trained in the middle east to see if they are still doing the role we trained them to do?

Yours faithfully,

Brett Cooper
