Today, ABC's Diane Sawyer talks with Martha Raddatz via Skype in Yemen about her travels to the city of Old Sana'a. What do the residents there think of the al Qaeda presence in their country? Are military forces there equipped to handle the growing terror threat? Is the country safe for foreigners? All this and more in today's Conversation.
