Yemen Election Nears Amid Militant Attacks

Description:Despite fears of attacks from Islamist militants, many Yemenis appear determined to carry out presidential elections as planned. After last year's anti-government protests, President Ali Abdullah Saleh signed an agreement in November to relinquish power. His former deputy Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi is the only candidate in elections scheduled for Tuesday, but a political analyst says they are still significant. (1:38)
