Charles Taylor 'gave Naomi Campbell diamonds'


Ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor promised to give Naomi Campbell diamonds during a 1997 dinner in South Africa, the supermodel's former agent has told Mr Taylor's war-crimes trial.
Carole White said Mr Taylor and Ms Campbell had been "mildly flirting".
In her testimony, Ms Campbell said she had received some "dirty stones", but she did not know who had had sent them.
Prosecutors say Mr Taylor armed rebels fighting a decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone, in return for diamonds.
Mr Taylor denies 11 charges at the war crimes court in The Hague and he has denied having anything to do with the trade in so-called blood diamonds. BBC News
