Terrorists question the country (4)
I believe the answer is:
iraq
'the country' is the definition.
(Iraq is an example)
'terrorists question' is the wordplay.
'terrorists' becomes 'ira' (I've seen this before).
'question' becomes 'q'.
'ira'+'q'='IRAQ'
(Other definitions for iraq that I've seen before include "Country of western Asia" , "Middle-Eastern state" , "Mesopotamia was its former name" , "where there are no easy answers?" , "Middle East republic, capital Baghdad" .)
