Letterman Back At Work After Website Death Threat

FIRST PUBLISHED: August 22, 2011 2:05 PM EDTLAST UPDATED: August 22, 2011 2:11 PM EDT NEW YORK, N.Y. -- David Letterman is back at Late Show after a two-week vacation, his first day at work since a threat against his life was posted on a jihadist website. CBS has declined to comment on any special security measures being taken at Lettermans midtown Manhattan theater for the Monday taping. Last week, a frequent contributor to a jihadist website posted a threat to Letterman. He urged Muslim followers to cut the tongue of the late-night host because of a joke the comic had made about al-Qaida leaders on his CBS show. The website is a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims. It was unknown whether Letterman planned to address the threat on the air. Copyright 2011 by Associated Press.
