Knut Frydenlund was a Norwegian diplomat and politician for the Labour Party who was foreign minister from 1973–1981 and again from 1986–1987. Frydenlund was a close friend of the influential deep politician and spook Trond Johansen, who handpicked him for the job.

Career

Frydenlund was born in Drammen. He served his national service in the Norwegian Brigade in Germany, where he established his very close connection to Trond Johansen.[1]

Frydenlund began his diplomatic career in the 1950s, initially serving at the Norwegian embassy in Bonn 1953-55, together with Johansen, who worked as intelligence liaison to the Gehlen Organization.

Frydenlund served in various diplomatic positions during the 1950s and the 1960s.

In 1969 he was elected to parliament as a member of the Norwegian Labour Party, and he became foreign minister in the Labour government in 1973. He was active during the cover-up of the Lillehammer assassination, where he made sure the trial was kept behind closed doors and where he promised the Israelis the assassins would be release after serving 1/3 of their sentence.[2].

When former Foreign Minister Dagfinn Vårvik mentioned Trond Johansens's identity as intelligence leader in 1977, Frydenlund threatened Vårvik with prosecution.[3] Since then, Johansens's name and real role have extremely rarely been mentioned in corporate media.

While Labour was out of power from 1981 to 1986, he was replaced as foreign minister by Svenn Thorkild Stray, but returned to the office in May 1986. In February 1987, following his return from a Nordic Council meeting in Helsinki, he collapsed at Oslo's Fornebu Airport due to a cerebral hemorrhage and died soon afterwards at Ullevaal Hospital in Oslo.

In he 1970s, Frydenlund and Johansen kept contact with Arne Treholt, who in 1984 was arrested and convicted for espionage. The two encouraged Treholt in his unofficial contacts with the Soviets, and may have regarded hims as part of the Fourth Service at least until 1975[4].

Death

Died suddenly at age 59 after a cerebral hemorrhage reported in Oslo's Fornebu Airport.
