2 members of Al Qaeda "propaganda cell" arrested

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) --


Al Qaeda members arrested
Iraqi security forces have arrested two members of al Qaeda in Baghdad, a statement from the interim government's communications department said Thursday.

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.

2. Questions:
What is a "propaganda cell"?

Is beheading a "propaganda" act?

If they did not do violence and only were taping it or making sure Al Qaeda got credit for it, does Al Qaeda suffer a setback because they need to find a new cameraman or delivery boy or webmaster to spread the news?

3. Will somebody arrest the White House "propaganda cell", please!!
They are doing much more damage to America and the rest of the world than Al-qaeda.
