DUBAI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - A senior official from Yemen's southern separatists Amr al-Bidh said on Wednesday that their leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, decided not to travel to Riyadh because he wanted to avoid creating a security vacuum in Aden.
The official also said that Saudi Arabia had warned al-Zubaidi to either participate in dialogue in Riyadh or face the bombing of Aden.
This comes after a Saudi-led coalition in the country said he fled to an unknown destination.
