After ten attack is broadcast — getting looked into somehow (1-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

x-rayed

'looked into somehow' is the definition.
(ie looked into using X-rays)

'after ten attack is broadcast' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ten' becomes 'x' (roman numeral).
'attack' becomes 'raid' (raid is a kind of attack).
'is broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how the word might sound on the radio or TV).
'raid' is a homophone of 'rayed'.
'x' put next to 'rayed' is 'X-RAYED'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for x-rayed that I've seen before include "Medically photographed" , "Photographed using radiation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
