Christians were fleeing Iraq’s jihadist-held city of Mosul en masse after mosques relayed an ultimatum giving them a few hours to leave.

Messages telling Christians to leave the city by today were blared through loudspeakers from the city’s mosques yesterday.

The Islamist State jihadist group took over the city last month.

A statement was issued saying Mosul’s Christians should convert, pay a special tax, leave or face death.
