Sorry not quite that simple how about...
tell application "Finder" to quit
set theProcess to {}
repeat
try
tell application "System Events" to tell application "Finder" to
activate
end try
delay 0.25
tell application "System Events" to set theProcesses to name of every
process
if theProcesses contains "Finder" then exit repeat
end repeat

i found this on apple's website, but i'm not sure if this is what you
are talking about when you say using an apple event to quit the
finder. also, based on the description of the code, it doesn't seem
like this will automatically relaunch finder after it has been quit.
OSErr QuitFinder()
{
int kFinderProcessSignature = 'MACS';
OSErr anErr = paramErr;
AppleEvent tAppleEvent = {typeNull,nil};
AppleEvent tReply;
AEBuildError tAEBuildError;
anErr = AEBuildAppleEvent(

i have this code to relaunch the finder:
Can't answer your question directly, but you should be sending Finder
a Quit Apple Event, not killing it. And even if you want to kill it,
you should not be launching a task to do so. And if you are going to
launch a task to do it, you shouldn't be using "killall Finder" to do
it.
