A driver in the Paris-Dakar motor rally was injured by a land mine in Mauritania today, even as a Western Sahara rebel front lifted its threat to resume all-out war.
The Polisario Front, a rebel group which seeks independence for the vast territory Morocco annexed in 1975, had threatened military action if the race entered Western Sahara. An “urgent appeal” was issued Saturday for competitors to stay out.
all-out：全部的，全面的；摩洛哥武裝組織威脅說(shuō)只要比賽進(jìn)入西撒哈拉他們就要發(fā)動(dòng)攻擊。
annex：吞并，合并。
The accident took place after the race crossed into Mauritania from its starting point in Samara, the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
The injured driver, Jose Eduardo Ribeiro, was airlifted by a United Nations helicopter to a hospital in Las Palmas, the Canary Islands, a U.N. spokesman said.
Mauritania：毛里塔尼亞（非洲小國(guó)）。
airlift：空運(yùn)；受傷的葡萄牙車(chē)手里貝羅已被直升機(jī)及時(shí)送進(jìn)醫(yī)院。
