Gentlemen,
I am writing a screenplay that involves a sniper. I am not even sure what questions I should be asking, but I have this picture of the landscape

which is where I would like the sniper to be.
He is SAS and is in the Northern part of Ethiopia near the border of Eritrea. He is near a known route that an Al Q type terrorist group leader usually takes between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
The terrorist leader travels in a convoy and usually stops in a village that is in the valley below.
How would you kit this guy out? Does he work alone? How far away should he be? How long can a sniper stay in the field waiting for his target? Is there any jargon that I could incorporate into his dialogue?
Can a sniper do this?
Anything that you can add will be appreciated.
Thanks
Drowner
