Italy and India implicated in bungled radar attack (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

air raid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'attack' is the definition.
(air raid is a kind of attack)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for air raid that I've seen before include "Attack by hostile aircraft" , "Attack by planes" , "Attack from the sky" , "Aerial bomb attack" , "Blitz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
