Birthplace of Iraqi human rights advocate Reham Yacoub (5)

I believe the answer is:

basra

(Other definitions for basra that I've seen before include "Iraq's main port" , "Iraqi town" , "Iraqi port on the Shatt-al-Arab waterway" , "Middle Eastern city" , "Iraqi city; Arabs (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
