I-spy agent disturbed North Africans (9)
I believe the answer is:
egyptians
'north africans' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i-spy agent disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters is disturbed).
'i'+'spy'+'agent'='ispyagent'
'ispyagent' anagrammed gives 'EGYPTIANS'.
(Other definitions for egyptians that I've seen before include "I spy agent among these nationals" , "locals in Memphis?" , "race" , "Pet saying about some who come from North Africa" , "Yes, taping the North Africans badly" .)
