By Bill Rigby
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Warren Buffett warned that the upsurge in insurance premiums after Sept. 11 will not last as long as expected, and that a recession is already biting at profits, as his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. <BRKa.N> reported a large third-quarter net loss, dragged down by massive claims from the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Berkshire, which set aside $2.275 billion for the Sept. 11 attack, reported a net loss of $679 million, or $445 per share in the quarter, including realized investment gains. That compared with a profit of $797 million, or $523 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
