Financing - WIth SwissRe out 700 million, I imagine there will considerable pressure on Swiss Banks to
close down or size the accounts of terrorists.

Munich Re in Germany alos hit, and a number of other European insures.

The possible shorting of their stock by the terrorists is really going to tick off the Europeans, and the bankers certainly have influence wtih their governments.

Better yet for the Swiss banks, they can just hand over information to U.S. authorities about who has the accounts, and where the money has gone. If the account holders should meet with an unfortunate accident, and no claim is ever placed on the account, I guess the banks can just hold on to the money...they've done this before, as is well known.
