Rig's allure affected freedom fighters (10)

I believe the answer is:

guerrillas

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

'freedom fighters' is the definition.
'guerrillas' can be an answer for 'fighters' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'freedom' bit.

'rig's allure affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' is an anagram indicator.
'rigs'+'allure'='rigsallure'
'rigsallure' is an anagram of 'GUERRILLAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guerrillas that I've seen before include "irregulars" , "Fighters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
