6 In 10 Major U.S. Businesses Have Terrorism Insurance

If you own a commercial building in America, chances are you’re going to take out terrorism insurance. It has moved into the mainstream with the depressing frequency of international incidents. Six in 10 major businesses in America are insured for terrorism damage, according to the Insurance Information Institute, although the coverage is rarely used. As it happens, the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif., where a terrorist couple killed 14 people earlier this month, is covered by terrorism insurance.
