UNITED NATIONS, April 10— The United States announced today the expulsion of a Sudanese diplomat whom it accused of supplying inside information to Islamic terrorists who were convicted last year of plotting the destruction of the United Nations and other New York landmarks after the bombing of the World Trade Center.
The Sudanese Mission was told on Tuesday that its second secretary, Ahmed Yousif Mohamed, had been involved in terrorist and espionage activities and must leave the country within two days, said James P. Rubin, a spokesman for the United States Mission.
We told the Sudanese that we will not permit diplomats to use their immunity as a way of allowing New York City to become a safe haven or a base for terrorism," Mr. Rubin said. "Therefore we requested the departure of Mr. Mohamed from the United States and and gave him 48 hours to comply."
The expulsion coincides with Washington's campaign to persuade the Security Council to impose diplomatic sanctions against the Sudan because of its suspected involvement in terrorism.
Last Wednesday, the United States representative, Madeleine K. Albright, presented the council with evidence implicating the Sudan in the attempted assassination of President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, last June. She said Egyptian militants involved in the attack had traveled between the Sudan and Ethiopia using Sudanese travel documents, and had shipped weapons on Sudan Airways.
Mr. Mohamed's expulsion seemed calculated to strengthen Washington's contention that the Sudan is involved in broader international terrorism and needs to be condemned.
Mr. Mohamed, who left today, is one of two Sudanese diplomats who allegedly provided the conspirators in New York with details about the United Nations and about a planned visit by Mr. Mubarak in 1993. The other diplomat, Siraj Yousif, left the United States last July, United States officials said.
President Mubarak visited Washington in 1993 but did not continue to the United Nations. He did not join other world leaders at the United Nations' 50th-anniversary celebration here last October.
The Sudanese Mission said in a statement this afternoon that the expulsion order was the first official communication from the United States alleging that Sudanese diplomats had been involved in terrorist and espionage activities here.
"However, not a single evidence was cited to substantiate these allegations," said the statement, which was read by Sudan's deputy representative, Hamid Ali Mohamed Eltinay. "We therefore categorically refute as baseless any allegation or suggestion relating to the involvement of diplomats, the mission or its staff in such activities."
A transcript introduced at the trial of the conspirators in New York last year quoted Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali, a Sudanese immigrant who was a defendant, as telling an informer on May 10, 1993, that he had friends in the Sudanese Mission who could provide diplomatic plates that would help him get a car packed with explosives into the garage at the United Nations headquarters. In another such conversation, he spoke of using a van from the Sudanese Mission to plant such a bomb.
As early as August 1993, Mr. Yousif was quoted as angrily denying a report by ABC News that he and Mr. Mohamed were Sudanese intelligence officers who had been taped in conversations with Mr. Ali supporting such a plot.
In February 1995, shortly after the trial opened, Mr. Ali pleaded guilty to all charges against him, including conspiracy to bomb the United Nations and other major landmarks.
Asked why it had taken so long to expel Mr. Mohamed, Mr. Rubin said, "We made this decision at the appropriate time."
Mr. Rubin said the Administration had to wait until the trial was over and the investigation had ended. He said there had also been concern about the security of diplomats at the United States Embassy in Khartoum. The embassy was shut down several weeks ago.
In pleading the Administration's case to the Security Council a week ago, Ms. Albright said two diplomats at the Sudanese Mission had been involved in the plots to bomb the United Nations and kill President Mubarak. Speaking to reporters afterward, she described the Sudan as "a viper's nest of terrorists."
The United States is pressing for diplomatic sanctions as well as a ban on airline flights to the Sudan, but has stopped short of pushing for economic or military sanctions for lack of sufficient support in the Security Council, which is expected to take up the issue again next week.
American officials said they were not aware of any evidence that Iran or Iraq might have joined the Sudan in encouraging the plot to bomb New York City's landmarks.
