An alleged gift from an accused warlord means that
Naomi Campbell will be subpoenaed to testify in a war crimes case.The 40-year-old supermodel will be asked to explain claims she received a “huge, uncut” "blood diamond" from former Liberian president
Charles Taylor during a party held at former South African President
Nelson Mandela’s house in September 1997.Actress
Mia Farrow -- who has also been called to trial -- claims the model personally told her about the precious stone.Speaking from The Hague where a war crimes trial against Taylor is underway, a court spokesperson said: "What it is going to happen now is just a matter of when it happens.”Naomi has repeatedly refused to answer questions for the special court.In April, Naomi reportedly grew visibly agitated when asked about receiving a "blood diamond" from the dictator.Campbell snapped: "I didn't receive a ‘blood diamond’ and I'm not going to speak about that."Taylor has been on trial since 2008 for crimes against humanity, after a bloody campaign he waged in Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2001, during which time he is alleged to have been involved with blood diamonds. A blood diamond -- also called a "hot" or "war" diamond -- is a jewel mined in a war zone and sold to aid warlord activity or invading forces' campaigns.
