Land in Iraq, at Ar-Rutbah (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

qatar

'land' is the definition.
(Qatar is an example)

'in iraq at ar-rutbah' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'QATAR' is hidden within 'iraq at ar rutbah'.

(Other definitions for qatar that I've seen before include "State in the Persian Gulf" , "found by the Persian Gulf" , "Arab peninsula" , "Doha's sheikhdom" , "who won the cup in 2010?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
