A task force created to find and stop shipments has seized more than 100 tons of explosives 鈥� but no criminal charges have followed.

UPDATE: At least three women were killed in the New Year's Eve explosion 鈥� and officials warned the toll was likely to rise. But whether the tragedy will be enough to change laws and behavior remains a question.

New rules and proposed laws could fundamentally change how political campaigns are financed.
