It said it was a branch of AQ operating inside America.

Voila! They didn't refer to themselves as a "cell," thereby making their statement match the recent FBI statement advising no cells have been found.

"Al-Qaeda branch launches web magazine"
By Ghaida Ghantous in Dubai
March 04, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "THE Iraq wing of al-Qaeda has launched an online publication to rally Muslims to wage holy war against "infidel crusaders" in Iraq and other Islamic countries.

The first edition of the magazine of the al-Qaeda Organisation of Holy War in Iraq, posted on Islamist websites, also called on Iraqi security forces, who have borne the brunt of militant attacks, to "repent" and stop serving the "cross".

"Followers of Sunni Islam, rise up with your brothers the mujahideen (holy fighters) to conquer Iraq and after that other Muslim countries occupied by infidels," said an introductory statement signed by group leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

"Ignoring jihad (holy war) is one of the great sins."

al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has declared Zarqawi his deputy in Iraq and the Jordanian militant is Washington's top enemy in the country."
