Saharan rally 'still on track'

Organisers of the Paris to Dakar rally say drivers have completed a sensitive stage of their route through Western Sahara - despite a threat of disruption by separatists of the Polisario Front. The rally's official web site said that cars, motorcycles and trucks reached the checkpoint at Smara after racing through 500 km of desert terrain from Goulimine in southern Morocco. The BBC's James Menendez reports.
