ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's government convened an emergency meeting on countering terrorism on Wednesday, a day after a powerful bomb blast in the capital Ankara killed six people and wounded 102 others, authorities said.

The rush hour explosion at the entrance of a shopping mall was believed to be the worst in at least a decade to strike the capital and came at a time of heightened political tension in the European Union-aspirant country."
