UNITED NATIONS — Peter Galbraith, a former American diplomat who served as the second-highest-ranking U.N. official in Afghanistan, was fired from his job Wednesday.
The decision to fire Galbraith, the former U.S. ambassador to Croatia, came just weeks after he abruptly left Afghanistan following a dispute with the U.N.’s top official in the country, Kai Eide of Norway, over whether to publicly denounce Afghanistan’s election commission for not discounting clearly fraudulent votes cast for President Hamid Karzai’s re-election.
