Does this make the world a safer place? I wouldn't be surprised if there are reprisals. Would it have been better for the Americans to have kept quiet about his death and acted as if they hadn't realised that they'd killed him? I expect that any remaining senior Al-Quaeda leaders wouldn't have wanted to advertise the fact that Bin Laden had been killed and so reprisals wouldn't have featured in their thinking.
I also wonder whether they could have taken him alive. I expect they could and if they could then why didn't they? It would have been interesting, if he had been brought to trial, to find out whether he really was responsible. As others have said I don't trust the Americans. There are still people imprisoned in Guantanamo, they've been there fr 9 years without trial, and they can't be tried because the evidence of torture by the Americans is too great.
