PREFACE

Terrorism is throwing itself as a national security challenge for almost every

country. It has brought many countries to a standstill and its frequency is
increasing day by day.
Insurance Industry around the world has created a Terrorism Insurance cover
in order to face the uncertainty of Terrorism. U S Government has initiated
an act on terrorism known as TRIREA and it is followed by many countries
in preparing their own Terrorism Insurance.
It was my anxiety and curiousness to know about this new topic that it led
me in preparing this report. I have taken time in order to provide the best and
up to date information on Terrorism Insurance.
The main intention of mine for taking this project was to receive the
practical knowledge rather giving importance to the marks associated to it. It
was not just a fulfillment of the work but a through understanding about
each aspect of the project
I ensure that the readers receive the right information from the Project and
also gains through the informations
