Naomi Campbell, the supermodel, has said she was "used as a scapegoat" at the war crimes trial of the former Liberian president Charles Taylor.

Campbell, 40, told the court in The Hague last month that she had been given a pouch of "dirty stones" by two men hours after she met Mr. Taylor.

She denied knowing that they were from the former leader of Liberia.

In an interview with Sky News to mark 25 years in the fashion business she said: "What you have to understand is, I was not on trial. I was forced by subpoena to testify."
