Meissen bombed in retribution (7)

I believe the answer is:

nemesis

'retribution' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'meissen bombed' is the wordplay.
'bombed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'meissen' is an anagram of 'NEMESIS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nemesis that I've seen before include "(Fate's) retribution" , "Nee Miss (anag.)" , "Fate" , "Destiny" , "Goddess of retribution in Greek mythology" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
