The capital of Iraq (7)

I believe the answer is:

baghdad

'the capital of iraq' is the definition.
('Baghdad' can be a synonym of 'capital of iraq')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for baghdad that I've seen before include "capital abroad" , "Capital of Iraq" , "Iraqi capital" , "city abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Sydney Morning Herald.
