CAIRO, Jan 5 (Reuters) - A delegation led by Yemen's main separatist group STC leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi will travel to Saudi Arabia, two sources told Reuters on Monday.

The visit would come days after STC welcomed a call for dialogue by Saudi Arabia to end a recent military escalation that has opened a major feud between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
