By Kanupriya Kapoor JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia on Monday said it had made “urgent” requests for an explanation why the United States barred its military chief from traveling to the U.S., as anger simmered in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country over the diplomatic incident. Armed forces commander General Gatot Nurmantyo was stopped on Saturday from boarding an Emirates flight to the U.S., despite having a visa and an official invitation to a conference from his counterpart, the chairman of the U.S joint chiefs of staff, General Joseph F. Dunford Jr. Foreign minister Retno Marsudi said she had accepted an official apology from the deputy U.S. ambassador in Jakarta, but still awaited a detailed explanation. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8259862 http://ift.tt/2yCD9UM
