Vehicle that may confound or trap Al C? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
patrol car
'vehicle' is the definition.
(patrol car is a kind of vehicle)
'that may confound or trap al c?' is the wordplay.
'that may confound' is an anagram indicator.
'or'+'trap'+'al'+'c'='ortrapalc'
'ortrapalc' anagrammed gives 'PATROL CAR'.
(Other definitions for patrol car that I've seen before include "Police vehicle" , "Panda, maybe" .)
