Naomi Campbell in middle of Blood Diamonds War Crimes Drama

(HMG) – The supermodel with the super temper, Naomi Campbell is likely to be subpoenaed to testify at the trial of Liberia’s ex-President Charles Taylor, on trial at The Hague for war crimes.  Taylor is accused of using “blood diamonds” to fuel an insurgency in Sierra Leone that cost tens of thousands of lives.  Campbell “was given rough diamonds” by  Taylor in 1997 at Nelson Mandela’s house in South Africa.  The story goes (via Page6) that Campbell and Mia Farrow were in the guest house of Nelson Mandela in South Africa when Taylor’s men threw pebbles at a window and woke her up.  Campbell’s former modeling agent, Carole White, who was also on the trip, has come forward to tell prosecutors she saw several men giving Campbell a “half-dozen” rough stones. White, according to her lawyer Daniel Bright, said Campbell was disappointed the gems were uncut.  Mia Farrow’s story is similar as she told ABC News last month she learned of the diamond gift the next morning at breakfast: “Naomi Campbell . . . said during the night some men had knocked on her door and she, half-asleep, had opened the door and it was representatives of President Charles Taylor and that they had given her a huge diamond. And we were like, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ ”

Campbell had previously declined to provide testimony to prosecutors.  When asked about the diamonds during an appearance on Oprah Winfrey earlier this month, Campbell said, “I don’t want to be involved in this man’s case — he has done some terrible things and I don’t want to put my family in danger.”
