British supermodel Naomi Campbell will give evidence at the war crimes trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor about a so-called blood diamond he allegedly gave her, AFP reported Friday.

"Naomi Campbell has confirmed she will attend the Charles Taylor trial at The Hague as per the court's request. She is a witness who has been asked to help clarify events in 1997," her spokeswoman said.

The war crimes court last week ordered Campbell to testify July 29 about a diamond she was allegedly given by Taylor after a celebrity dinner hosted by then South African president Nelson Mandela in September 1997.
Taylor has been on trial since 2008 for his alleged role in the civil war in Sierra Leone, accused of arming rebels in return for illegally mined diamonds -- which are often refered to as blood diamonds.

After the dinner at Nelson Mandelas home 1997 Naomi Campbell got something from Liberias president Charles Taylor. She described them (in the Hague War Crimews Tribunal where Taylor is accused) beeing "very small and, dirty...". I guess they are Blood Diamonds, which is name of Leonardo di Caprios movie.
