It was only a few weeks ago that Peter Galbraith, the former US diplomat, was discharged from his role as the UN's second highest-ranking official in Afghanistan.
The dismissal was issued after Galbraith claimed that his boss had covered up fraud in the country's recent elections - allegations that were vehemently denied.
On the 10th October, Norwegian newspaper Dagens Noeringsliv printed allegations that Peter Galbraith's company, Porcupine LP, had business dealings with Norwegian oil company DNO.
