PARIS (AP) Organizers of the Dakar Rally say the grueling race will again take place in Argentina and Chile in 2011.
Organizers said Tuesday the route for the Jan. 1-16 race will be unveiled in April. The race was moved to South America in 2009 because of terrorism fears about its traditional path through the Sahara Desert in northern Africa.
Organizers said in a statement that rally leaders were working on ``the possibility of a return to the African continent.''
The 2008 rally was canceled for the first time in its 30-year history because of a threat of a terrorist attack. Eight of the 15 stages were to have been in Mauritania, where al-Qaida-linked militants had recently killed a family of French tourists.
