Depends on the context. 'A war-torn country' also may be 'a country that was parted between two or more other countries, which fought for it's territories'.

раздираемая войной --- это если предложение в прошедшем времени
но
в прошлом времени оно не будет "раздёртая" :))
нужно смотреть по тексту
может быть как "страна, разделённая войной" так и "страна, разорённая войной"... зависит от того как они там что tear
