Option II - Abir is brainwashed by her only next of kin living (also) in the United States - (As suggested by Ogbamz, Nigeria)
As a result of the hallucinations she continually experiences because of her troubled childhood, Abir has been advised by a psychologist to find out more about her past to overcome her fears completely.
Following this advice, she starts tracing her past, in the course of which she stumbles upon a cousin of hers whom she has not seen for years. Suave is the apt word for this personality. His name is Bin Shamar. He is quiet, mild mannered, good looking, has a way with words and with people. Abir soon finds herself heavily influenced by Shamar and starts to look up to him in a lot of ways. In the course of the film, we see Shamar teaching Abir some lessons about life and how she should react. Shamar tells Abir a story about prophet musa – how he was a leader very much like her; he did not know his people like her, but yet he was ready to serve them.
The scene takes a serious turn when Shamar looks Abir straight in the eye and questions her commitment to the cause of Palestine and its people with a barrage of questions, “Are you willing to serve your people? Do you want to be used by Allah? Are you willing to avenge the death of your family and all those brave martyrs who laid down their lives in search of our freedom?”
The next scene that follows has Abir covering her face with a veil, which from the reactions of her neighbors conveys that it is unusual of her to do this. The man Shamar does not exit the movie immediately; his character is suspicious but suave. There are a few glimpses of his teachings and mannerisms which Abir keeps remembering throughout – in flashes. Shamar is a smooth operator; but as smooth as he is, he is unable to fully cover up his pent up resentment. Although he’s living in the United States, he doesn’t like Americans or their government. He smiles diplomatically at them while manning the counter at a convenient store, but makes it a point to “never” shake their hands, making sure that he doesn’t get too friendly with the “infidels”.
There are also some scenes that flash as interludes depicting Shamar telling Abir that "The prophet Musa gave up his life for his people; his personal liberty; We are taught that he was a prince with riches and splendor but he gave that all up" and then he looks at her and asks her "Are you willing to give your life up for your peoples liberation?,”
In her subconscious mind, Abir remembers Shamar asking her this question again and again. She lets out a mind-numbing scream and wakes up to find herself in bed. She sits up shaking and convulsing desperately clinging to her ragged doll – the only piece of her childhood that has survived her awful past. It’s past her wake up time and she’s late for work. There’s a special briefing for a new drill that is being conducted at the Maine nuclear facility today …

OPTION I - Abir is brainwashed by terrorists
Abir takes part at an IAEA conference in Vienna. The russian scientist Anna, which is an FSB agent, invites Abir to an evening at the opera. In their box are waiting two Arabic men. While Anna and one of the men sit in the front to watch the show, Abir sits in the back of the box, watching the opera as she reminisces about her own music. The box in which they sit isn't visible to the rest of the audience. Via screen-spectacles and earphones Abir is confronted with her past and the ongoing threads against the Palestinians. Unknowing, she is brainwashed...and it works. After the show, at an exclusive dinner, Abir is then informed about her mission.

We could shape the story with two central characters:
A young Palestinian woman, Abir Sakir — who has spent a majority of her childhood abandoned in a refugee camp in Jabalya, Gaza. Abir is brainwashed by the terrorist outfit to become a suicide bomber. They plan to manipulate Abir, using her very troubled childhood and resentment against the allies of Israel, into voluntarily ingesting DF105, and place her within close radius to the nuclear reactor located deep within the Maine nuclear facility, triggering the worst nuclear fallout the world has ever seen.
To protect the United States against such a threat, a special task-force known as the Anti-Terrorist Action Team (ATAT), has been assigned to the tasks of tracking down and eliminating terrorist operatives found hiding in the US, and to protect high-risk facilities located within the U.S. Highly decorated ex-Navy Seal Jason Clifford, winner of the congressional Medal of Honor and bearer of 3 Purple Hearts, has been appointed as the head of this task-force. Jason’s team has received classified information from the CIA that terrorists plan to bomb the country’s largest nuclear facility, but they do not know how, nor when.

jason cliffords character is one that is more like the james bond character when it comes to his job ,he is a perfect officer who seems to be a great achiever as far as his job is concerned but his past is what is motivating his efforts at his job, his father was afailure , a drunk ,the father abandoned clifford and his mother when he was very young.....to be continued
he could have grown up poor, then after a life of petty crime, he decided to become a police officer. from there he decided to joined the Navy during the first Gulf war. then made his way up to where he is now...hows that? - Guitarchick
maybe Abir has a friend who works with her at the Nuclear facility. during this whole "Brain-washing" she confides in her, and asks for her advice. although she doesn't quite say exactly whats wrong.anyway, she is the one who "finds" her cousin for her and surprises her with him. but whats really going on is that she is actually working for the terrorists too. and when Abir fails to explode she reveals her self, and the fact that she took DF-105 her self. ( either she was the "fail safe" in case that happened or Abir was never ment to blow up.) either way her friend is the one who ends up blowing up and causeing the melt down.
there could also be a sequal, in that Abirs cousin got away.-Guitarchick
