An unknown assailant shot an Islamic court judge in the head as he drove his car in the northern part of the kingdom, police and a newspaper said Saturday.

The sources provided no reason for Friday's attack on Sheikh Abderrahman al-Sahibani at Skaka in the province of Jouf.

He was heading to a mosque to lead Friday prayers when he came under fire and lost control of his car. A bullet was removed successfully from his head in Skaka before the judge was transferred to a hospital in Riyadh, the capital, Al-Riyadh daily said.

I guess the shooter missed the Islamic court judges brain by some 5 to 6 foot...

Didn't Al Capp invent the phrase "Fortunately I landed on my head," for the Lil' Abner comic strip?
