All CBS News Broadcasts, CBSNews.com and CBS Radio News Will Offer Extensive Coverage Beginning That Day

CBS News will mark the five-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., with far-ranging Division-wide reports and interviews--highlighted by a primetime special, FIVE YEARS LATER -- HOW SAFE ARE WE?, anchored by Katie Couric, Wednesday, Sept. 6 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network

The primetime special will feature reports from CBS News correspondents around the country and the world five years after the worst terrorist attack in the country�s history, including CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan, National Correspondent Byron Pitts, National Security Correspondent David Martin and Correspondent Jim Stewart, among others. FIVE YEARS LATER will examine the state of the country�s homeland security today, the continuing threat of future attacks and how the government is working to prevent them, and how Americans have been coping with lingering fears and anxiety, post-9/11.

Earlier that day, THE EARLY SHOW and the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC will begin coverage of the anniversary, as well, with analysis from Bob Schieffer on the EVENING NEWS.

Following the Sept. 6 Division-wide day of CBS News programming, coverage will continue:
