9 Ushers (he wrote the House of Usher) = H(orse) in "users" (horse is also slang for heroin)

[JJ109]

11a lutz (ice skating term) = k(lutz) (schlemiel)

[JJ109]

12 Touche = TU containing O + Che (guevara)

[JJ109]

I think 10a is Turkistan  a city in Khazakhstan

"Turn" around "Ist a" + K for Cambodia

I have found KH = Cambodia but not just K!

Somebody else please clarify

[yellow11]

many thanks

[JJ109]

You're most welcome!

K for Cambodia is in Bradfords Crossword Dictionary - so it must have appeared in crosswords!

[Neveracrossword]

...and K for Cambodia is also in Chambers!

[JJ109]

Thanks NAC for confirmation. As you know, I do not have either Bradfords or Chambers. I knew that Cambodia used to be the KHmer Republic and also Kampuchea, so a "K" was a fair guess!

JJ, you're welcome. I should have checked both earlier, but Bradfords was the only one to hand then!
