"Iraqi exodus spills into Europe, with Sweden as hotspot

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have fled the unrelenting violence and chaos in their homeland since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

The exiles mostly poured into neighboring countries. But a growing tide of Iraqis is seeking shelter and a new start in Europe, where Sweden is emerging as the destination of choice due to relatively lax immigration laws, according to immigration officials and official statistics."
