Brave Kurdish reporter walks out into No Man's Land - VIDEO

This is the moment a Kurdish reporter walked to the ISIS border and confronted jihadi militants.

Hunar Ahmad, a correspondent for Kurdish-language news channel Rudaw, strolled into the middle of a bridge and shouted over to the fighters that he wanted to interview them.The men, who were allegedly building a Caliphate border post at the site near Kirkuk, ignored Mr Ahmad before warning him not to come any closer.It comes after the group seized the Yazidi border town of Sanjir, telling residents: convert or die.United Nations human rights experts have warned that the world must take 'all possible measures' to prevent a massacre of minorities in Iraq as the UK continued aid drops but resisted calls for military intervention. But incredibly, Mr Ahmad casually sidles up towards the border separating the murderous militants and Kurdish Peshmerga troops.One Peshmerga soldier advises him: 'Speak Arabic if you can' - as he advances clutching a red microphone.Holding the microphone out to the soldiers, he shouts: 'Would anyone like to speak to Rudaw?'There is no response from the 10 men standing 100 metres away clutching a black Islamic State flag. 'We are here close to IS militias at Merriam-Beg, they have made here the border lines,' he tells the camera, according to Rudaw's translation.'We are here to interview anyone of them but they are refusing to talk.'Undeterred, he tries again, waving his hand at the jihadis as he advances into No Man's Land.He shouts details about Rudaw as tractors can be seen shovelling mounds of dirt onto the border line.Eventually he turns back: 'We repeatedly tried to talk to the IS militias, but they are busy strengthening their frontlines right here.'They are warning me not to get any closer.'The militants, who have shorten their name from ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) to IS (The Islamic State), are believed to be strengthening their forces at the site near Kirkuk, north of Baghdad.It comes after they seized Sanjir, home to 500,000 Yazidis.Thousands of the minority sect were today desperately trying to escape the bloody Islamic State militants.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
