NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Oil prices slipped early Monday, as investors breathed a sigh of relief following news that U.S. forces had killed al-Qaeda
leader Osama bin Laden. Crude for June delivery fell $2.07, or nearly 2%, to $111.86 a barrel in early morning trading.

can anyone explain to me why oil would drop because of the death of a terrorist who may or may not of attacked America 10 years ago??
Because the vast majority of the population believes Osama masterminded 9/11. Take away the mastermind, and you (psychologically) take away the threat
of another attack. What if Hitler was killed when Germany attacked Poland? Do you think they would have made it to France or started the Holocaust?
Taking out the perceived leader could mean things will be safer and more stable now.
