Spies among Latinos oddly withdrawn (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antisocial

'withdrawn' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'spies among latinos oddly' is the wordplay.
'spies' becomes 'CIA' (Central Intelligence Agency).
'among' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oddly' indicates an anagram.
'latinos' anagrammed gives 'antisol'.
'cia' put within 'antisol' is 'ANTISOCIAL'.

(Other definitions for antisocial that I've seen before include "Not getting on with others" , "withdrawn" , "Reluctant to mix" , "Disinclined to mix" , "Disruptive to the community" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
