Paramilitaries seizing hotel discovered very bad people (7)
I believe the answer is:
sinners
'people' is the definition.
(sinner is a kind of person)
'paramilitaries seizing hotel discovered very bad' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hotel' could be 'inn' (inn is a kind of hotel) and 'inn' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sinners that I've seen before include "Transgressors of divine law" , "criminals" .)
