Articles from abroad flank bottom (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

underside

'bottom' is the definition.
('underside' can be a synonym of 'bottom')

'articles from abroad flank' is the wordplay.
'articles from abroad' becomes 'under' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'flank' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before).
'under'+'side'='UNDERSIDE'

(Another definition for underside that I've seen is " Bottom".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
