The triple terror attacks in New York and Washington September 11, 2001 forced the first mandatory evacuation of the U.S. Capitol building and sent congressional leaders into a safe but secret location. Lawmakers were told at a late afternoon briefing that the House would reconvene at 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters. There was no immediate word on when the Senate would return but congressional aides said they expected a similar schedule. Police officers stand guard outside the Capitol and the Supreme Court following the attacks. (Brendan McDermid/Reuters)
