American actress Mia Farrow has testified at the war crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor. She told the court at The Hague that in 1997 supermodel Naomi Campbell claimed to have been given a large diamond by Mr. Taylor after a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela. Campbell's former agent Carole White also testified. As Selah Hennessy reports from London, Farrow's and White's testimonies contradict Campbell's statements given last week.
Actress Mia Farrow was _________________________surrounding a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela in 1997. Farrow said during breakfast the following morning, fellow guest Naomi Campbell told her that Charles Taylor had sent her a diamond during the night.
"She said that in the night she had been awakened, some men were knocking at the door, and they had been sent by Charles Taylor, and they were giving her, _________________________."
Campbell's former agent Carole White also testified Monday. She said Charles Taylor had told Campbell over dinner that he would give her a diamond. Both testimonies contradict what Naomi Campbell told the court last week. Campbell said she had been given a "few dirty pebbles" in the middle of the night. But she stopped short of saying she had known they were from Mr. Taylor. _________________________.
