One causing deliberate damage or disruption (8)

I believe the answer is:

saboteur

(Other definitions for saboteur that I've seen before include "One deliberately damaging equipment etc" , "Deliberate wrecker" , "One engaged in malicious disruption" , "One who wrecks" , "One who disrupts or damages by design" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
