Twice as many Iraqis applied for asylum in developed countries in 2007 compared to the year before, increasing the number of new asylum seekers worldwide for the first time since 2002, the United Nations refugee agency said on Tuesday.
In a detailed report, the UNHCR said the number of formal asylum seekers from Iraq more than doubled to 45,200 last year, making up the largest proportion of the 338,000 applications received by 43 industrialised states around the world.
