THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Naomi Campbell and actress Mia Farrow will be summoned to testify at former Liberian President Charles Taylor's war crimes trial, addressing allegations Taylor gave the supermodel an uncut diamond at a South African reception in 1997.
The Special Court for Sierra Leone granted a request Wednesday by prosecutors to call Campbell and Farrow. The prosecution hopes the women's testimony will support its claims that Taylor dealt in "blood diamonds" when he supported rebels in neighboring Sierra Leone.
