[0:02] >> Tonight, in an exclusive interview,
[0:03] President-elect Obama takes on America's
[0:06] most wanted fugitive, Osama bin Laden.
[0:09] >> My preference, obviously, would be to
[0:11] capture or kill him.
[0:13] >> I'm Katie Couric in Washington. Also
[0:15] tonight, bin Laden's new threat.
[0:20] The terrorist leader vows to open new
[0:22] fronts in the war against the US.
[0:25] A fast-moving assault of snow and bitter
