Wordings finalised as major corporations struggle to obtain cover

It now seems certain that the terrorism insurance bill will finally be voted through when Congress returns after the mid term elections early next month.

The bill will also owe much to tireless campaigning by the insurance, as well as the larger corporate, lobby.
