Naomi has 6 'blood diamonds' says aide

Naomi Campbell reportedly owns six 'blood diamonds'

Naomi Campbell has repeatedly denied allegations that she received a "blood diamond" from former Liberian president Charles Taylor but her ex-aide says the dictator gifted the supermodel six stones.

The 39-year-old runway beauty, who has repeatedly refused to talk about the diamonds, has been asked by officials to appear before the Special Court on July 29 to testify or "show good cause why" she cannot in the trial against Taylor, the Daily Mail reported.

The former president is accused of fuelling a civil war in Sierra Leone and is said to have provided arms to rebel soldiers in return for rough, uncut diamonds.

Campbell met Taylor while she attended Nelson Mandela's Children's Fund in South Africa in 1997.

The story goes that the dictator was so smitten by the supermodel that he gave her a large diamond as a token of his affection
