Organizers of the famed Dakar Rally will again hold the race in Chile and Argentina next January:"Based on the success and popularity of the 2009 Dakar held for the first time in Argentina and Chile, A.S.O. (Amaury Sports Organization) and the two countries have decided together to renew the organization of the rally in 2010 in South America," they said in a statement on www.dakar.com.The decision was met with approval from government officials in both Southern Cone countries. Chilean Minster Francisco Vidal praised the rally for promoting his country “to hundreds of millions of people in the world.” "Argentina welcomes again the Dakar Rally," Sports Minister Claudio Morresi said hours after ASO made their decision.
After a year off, this year’s race was held away from Africa for the first time due to the increasingly dangerous West African region.
Last month’s race crossed through diverse areas like the Argentine pampas and the Chilean desert and was considered one of the most difficult ever. South African driver Giniel de Villiers won the competition which was marred by the death of French motorcyclist Pascal Terry.

About the madman that killed a Girl and a Boy, Legal Students from Chile. In Miramar Beach Florida :
He looks exactly like Charles Manson without the Swastika on the forehead.
He has been a Strong Enthusiastic Bush Republican.
He also told a Neighbor Lady that he wanted to start a "Revolution" killing immigrants.
I have videos and photos of the Murders here :
