Half of them getting very angry in Dubai? (7)
I believe the answer is:
emirate
'dubai?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'half of them getting very angry' is the wordplay.
'half of' means to take half the letters.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'very angry' becomes 'irate' (I've seen this in another clue).
'them' halved is 'em'.
'em'+'irate'='EMIRATE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for emirate that I've seen before include "Foreign office" , "Eg, Dubai" , "Such as Abu Dhabi or Dubai" , "Arab territory" , "Islamic territory" .)
