Turkey: Ankara bombing: Erdogan seeks to widen terrorism definition
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said it is necessary to redefine terrorism to include those who support such acts.
Mr Erdogan added that this could be a journalist, a lawmaker or an activist.
He was speaking a day after a bomb attack in the Turkish capital Ankara that killed 37 people.
No group has so far claimed the blast, but Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said evidence "almost certainly" pointed towards the banned PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) separatist group.
On Monday,March 14, Turkey launched air strikes against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq.

Middle East - Yemen: Saudi and Arab allies bomb Houthi positions in Yemen
Saudi Arabia and a coalition of regional allies have launched a
military operation in Yemen against the Houthi rebels, who deposed the
US-backed Yemeni president last month.
Adel al-Jubair, Saudi ambassador to the US, said on Wednesday that a coalition consisting of 10 countries, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), had begun airstrikes at 7pm Eastern time.
"The operation is to defend and support the legitimate government of Yemen and prevent the radical Houthi movement from taking over the country," Jubair told reporters in Washington.
The Houthi-run health ministry in Sanaa said that at least 18 civilians were killed and 24 others were wounded in the Saudi-led airstrikes on the capital.
Huge explosions were heard in Sanaa as strikes hit an airbase at Sanaa airport and other locations in the capital, an AFP correspondent reported.
Strikes were also reported on targets in the Malaheez and Hafr Sufyan regions of Saada province, a main Houthi stronghold on the border with Saudi Arabia.
