'al-Megrahi' was apparently jailed for his alleged role in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
He apparently died at his Tripoli home late Sunday.
al-Megrahi enters history as the MacGuffin who gifted the West with the pretext for strong-arming Libya through sanctions and military strikes.
Few will mourn his passing (real or imagined) but his final wave should raise an eyebrow or two.
Seen below is al-Megrahi on his death bed.
His writhing arm takes on the form of a snake, roused from its basket by the snake-charmer.

Observations:
- the magic arm has no mechanical link to the rest of the torso
- a strategically placed 'pillow' in the right foreground obscures the view of any such link
- the 'cameraman' develops a severe bout of the wobbles (how inopportune!)
- headgear across the neckline is an ideal boundary for composition trickery
- the blanket is unduly raised above the torso, as if added digitally
