After three years of largely avoiding the subject in scripted shows, two networks are reportedly working on mini-series projects about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

NBC last week announced it will develop a mini-series chronicling the events leading up to Sept. 11, 2001. Now comes word that ABC is working on a similar project. Like the NBC project, ABC’s take will be based on the report of the federal 9/11 commission. The best seller is a public document, so rights to it are not an issue.

Hollywood trade papers say ABC has been working on its project–a mini-series or movie–for some time. ABC isn’t commenting.
