Soldier in Tampa raid (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

para

'soldier' is the definition.
(short for paratrouper)

'in tampa raid' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PARA' is hidden within 'tampa raid'.

(Other definitions for para that I've seen before include "abbreviated passage having unity" , "Airdropped soldier" , "High-jumper" , "Soldier who jumps to order? (abbr)" , "Soldier in an airborne unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
