The mention of a nation with no specifics geographic reference reads as a declaration of an arbitrary country generic in nature and adds little to the plot. However, if the country provides a story critical back drop that provides stakes i.e: USA, Israel or Kuwait for example, then it is worth mentioning, other wise best to take this description out and save on words.
Secondly with no inciting incident and goal the plot is vague. It is clear that the bomb disposal expert will fight the militant but to what end? What specifically does he need to achieve? Further to that why now? What happened that he is made to confront her now? What is the inciting incident?
Hope this helps.
