Washington, D.C — A landmark television series on Africa which was pushed off the schedules by coverage of the attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is back on air.

Part four of Jennifer Lawson's eight-part Africa series - "Mountains of Faith" - can be seen Sunday on public television channels around the United States.

However, there is no new date in the schedules for ABC Nightline's Heart of Darkness a five-part series hosted by Ted Koppel, probing the Congo's catastrophic conflict.

"We are covering the attacks [on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon] for the indefinite future," a Nightline spokesperson told allAfrica.com. "Everything else has been put on hold."
