Friday, May 7th, 2004 — It seems like almost every day there is a major news story concerning a terrorist act in the Middle East, Europe, or Asia. While the United States has been largely immune to the almost daily attacks of domestic terrorism undertaken around the world, the aftermath of September 11th will not soon be forgotten.
Luckily, domestic terrorism in the United States is a topic that has been relegated to presidential politics rather than a discussion of recent devastation and loss of life. The horrible effects of the September 11, 2001, attacks affected virtually every segment of American society.
The insurance industry was hard hit with an estimated payment of more than forty billion dollars related to September 11th.
