Unruly Arabs in Iraqi port (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basra

'iraqi port' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unruly arabs' is the wordplay.
'unruly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'arabs' with letters rearranged gives 'BASRA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for basra that I've seen before include "South Iraqi oil port" , "Middle Eastern city" , "Chief port of Iraq" , "Iraqi port city" , "Iraqi city; Arabs (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
