Do you mean the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, His Excellency Hume Horan, who was expelled in April 1988?
I am not sure I understand.
The US ambassador asked KSA if the US could inspect some Military Equipment that the KSA possesses. If KSA did not wish the US to inspect their equipment, all they had to do was say: NO.
What was the need to expel anyone? And how would expelling the US ambassador have helped the situation anyway?
Is this the fellow you mean: Foreign Affairs - Drilling for Tolerance - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com
What is not to understand?! USA asked KSA to inspect sth they have after they assured USA that the missiles are conventional. I think the way that ambassador asked them was inappropriate, so he was expelled.
