War crimes trial hears about ‘dirty looking pebbles’

PROSECUTORS were yesterday accused of scoring a “spectacular own goal” after calling supermodel Naomi Campbell as a witness in the war crimes trial of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor.

The 40-year-old from south London, admitted receiving “dirty looking pebbles” from two men in the middle of the night after a party hosted by Nelson Mandela in South Africa in September 1997.

But she claimed she was never told who the gift was from, contradicting the accounts of her former agent Carole White and actress Mia Farrow.
