Political plotters (5)

I believe the answer is:

cabal

(Other definitions for cabal that I've seen before include "Group of conspirators" , "Plotting group" , "Clique of plotters" , "Secret political clique or faction" , "Secret plot or the people engaged in it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
