European stocks slip after bin Laden killing - Yahoo! News: "LONDON (AFP) – Europe's main stock markets slid on Tuesday, as London traders returned from a four-day holiday weekend and euphoria faded over the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, analysts said.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 index fell 0.17 percent to 6,059.80 points in late morning deals, erasing earlier gains. The market was closed on Friday for Britain's royal wedding, and on Monday for a regular bank holiday.
In Paris on Tuesday, the CAC 40 index retreated 0.75 percent to 4,077.02 points and Frankfurt's DAX 30 dipped 0.92 percent to 7,458.22.
French and German shares had risen on Monday in reaction, as traders sought riskier assets and mulled the possible effects on reducing instability in the world, notably in the Middle East."
