ROME (Reuters) - Italian police said on Monday they had 
arrested three men and charged them with counterfeiting 
hundreds of thousands of dollars in fake Iraqi money.

The leaders of the counterfeiting ring were arrested in 
Rome on Sunday and some $600,000 worth of Iraqi dinars 
had been confiscated.

They said the three men, two Italians and one German, 
had made numerous trips between Italy and the Middle 
East recently.

Police said they were still trying to determine what 
the men were intending to do with the money.
