News from part of Kabul, is admitted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

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

'news' is the definition.
(bulletin is a kind of news)

'part of kabul is admitted' is the wordplay.
'part of kabul' becomes 'bullet' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'is admitted' becomes 'in' (eg someone might be admitted into a group).
'bullet'+'in'='BULLETIN'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Regular news up-date" , "News flash" , "Short statement on the news as it comes in" , "Blue lint (anag.)" , "Short and regular up-date" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
