Enemy grabs kid in raid (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forage

'raid' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Military raid' mean 'forage' so perhaps 'raid' could also mean 'forage')

'enemy grabs kid' is the wordplay.
'enemy' becomes 'foe' (I've seen this before).
'grabs' is an insertion indicator.
'kid' becomes 'rag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'foe' placed around 'rag' is 'FORAGE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for forage that I've seen before include "Search widely for food" , "Go searching, perhaps for food" , "Wander and feed" , "Seek for food" , "sort of cap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
