The case is becoming more crowded because Naomi Campbell bandwagon dragged. Supermodel was allegedly received a bag of raw diamonds from Charles Taylor after a dinner in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1997.
Taylor motive, namely to provide raw diamonds to Campbell, still continues to be traced to the present. But, why it chose a former militia commander to give a bag of raw diamonds than a box of jewelry to the British model? S.E. Smith of www.wisegeek.com have an answer. "For those of former rebel leaders like him, diamond is the most precious blood," he wrote on 8 June.
In 1989 Taylor returned to Liberia after completed his studies at Bentley University (formerly Bentley College). College was located in the city of Waltham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States (U.S.). Once returned to their homeland, he then lined up to star as chairman of the National Patriotic Front rebel group to Liberia (National Patriotic Front of Liberia). Through the activities that the former president who is now 62-year-old is familiar with blood diamonds.

"The case of blood diamonds most often appear on the African continent," said Smith. So far, there were seven countries in Africa are often involved in blood diamond conflict. Namely, Liberia, Angola, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast, Republic of Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire).

"Diamonds do not have a trail that can be tracked like DNA," said Jack Jolis, raw diamond consultant, as reported by the Wall Street Journal last Tuesday (10 / 8). In fact, he continued, to trace the origin of any diamond-producing mine, the expert difficulty. But, one is for sure. Jolis confirmed that the majority of diamonds mined in African countries that are relatively far from the conflict. Among other things, Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.
Syndicate diamond smugglers, who carry out precious stones from the mines, acting with extreme caution. Network they were so neat. Once rapinya, some governments in Africa are believed to be involved in the syndication. So it is with some government organizations. Government of Liberia under Taylor's command allegedly enjoy the results of the blood diamond transactions and protect terrorist groups and rebels involved.
