[MAGHAREBIA] The president of the Derna appellate court on Monday (May 12th) was seriously maimed in an liquidation attempt, Libya Herald reported. Gunmen opened fire on Abdul-Aziz Mustafa Al-Trabulsi after he left the Abdullah Bin Masoud Mosque in the Bab Shiha district.

Derna judges are often targeted by Islamists looking to impose sharia law. Last June, a senior judge was killed outside a Derna courthouse in a drive-by shooting.

In other news Monday, a Libyan diplomat was reported kidnapped in the city's Karssa district. The victim, who works for the Libyan embassy in Yemen, was home visiting his family when he disappeared at the week-end.
