The statement said Huthaifa Sattar Abdul Jabbar -- nicknamed "Agha Hado" -- and his brother, Mohammed, were arrested Saturday during a search of a residential area in Iraq's capital.
"From information and evidence obtained during the search, it has become clear that Huthaifa is a member of (the) al Qaeda organization who works in the Baghdad propaganda cell of the (Abu Musab) al-Zarqawi terrorist network," the statement said. "It has also been clear that Mohammed works in Baghdad propaganda cell as well."
The Jordanian-born al-Zarqawi declared his allegiance to al Qaeda last year and acts attributed to his group -- kidnappings, hostage beheadings and the killing of Iraqi and U.S. military personnel -- were praised in an audio tape, released December 27, believed to be from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
