Real targets include a table (5)

I believe the answer is:

altar

'a table' is the definition.
(I know that altar is a type of table)

'real targets include' is the wordplay.
'include' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ALTAR' is hidden within 'real targets'.

(Other definitions for altar that I've seen before include "Place of sacrifice" , "Place for sacrifices" , "Focal point for Mass" , "Consecrated table in church" , "Table for sacrifice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
