Bono's Daughter Was Center of Kidnapping Plan

Bono's daughter, Jordan Hewson, was the target of an abduction plot in 1994. Five Irish criminals reportedly planned to demand $8 million in exchange for the U2 frontman's then four-year-old daughter.

However, according to a new book written by the daughter of gangster Martin "The General" Cahill, Frances, the plan foiled when Martin called off the mission after six straight months of camping out at Bono's Dublin estate. "It ISN'T going to happen," he said. Frances is the eldest of Cahill's nine children, and the Bono-related scam is just one of the many shameful acts detailed in her book 'Martin Cahill, My Father,' which was released last week.

Why do people always try to tear a person down when they are doing good in the world. You so called Christians are anti-christ even if Bono is Gay, the Master Jesus alias a very well known prophet, would turn no human away. The Bible is written by man of mans law it is not the true word of god. He doesn't judge us we judge us. All you people and your religion wake up and do your homework of the origins of christianity it's false and it came from the Romans who did In fact kill the man Christ. Pro Humanists for all yes even the ones I don't like again it's not up to us to spew hatred there is enough in the world today. Bono is doing great work with all the money he earns, Oh sorry the guy isn't a total freak show then you all would really get off on that. Get a life of your own then you will have less time to condem others, especially people with relgions titles who think they are better than. Your NOT!

I think Bono is a great role model, so what he has his own style whatever is wrong with you people for picking on others who are different but making a major change anyway he can. Don't play the Jesus and a god thing he never said he was god we completely reinvented christ alias Yeheshoa he was a jew never a christian, and people useing religion to back up there ignorant opinions go away because your hipacripts.

YOU Trash talkers don't even know the first thing about this living legend and his band! None of the crap bands you've been listening could ever amount to anything in comparison! Do some homework before you spout off about Bono...he has done more for this world then you know, and he walks in the footsteps of Jesus. Can I get a witness? You loooosers could never walk in this man's shoes or carry off those awsome glasses...you couldn't afford them anyway. Walk the walk before you talk the talk. U2's lyrics have a much deeper meaning than many of you know, many of them are even spirituals. Bono is a devout Christian, with a heart of gold! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!

wasn't bono time magazine'S PERSON OF THE YEAR JUST TWO YEARS AGO? albeit, HE SHARED IT WITH THE gates', BUT YOU CAN'T SHARE AN AWARD FROM time magazine WITH bill gates UNLESS YOU ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. NOW, bono IS A GREAT MAN IF YOU COUNT IS WORKS, BUT HE DOES HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN ON THE ROAD. I KNOW, HE BOINKED A WOMAN I KNEW TWO YEARS IN A ROW AND STAYED IN TOUCH WITH HER IN BETWEEN. yes, I SAW THE PICTURES.

Way to go, Ro!

Besides, Shell... should we as humans not lead by example regardless of our beliefs? Jesus told his followers to be a light unto the world and, believe it or not, that entails leading people. I can think of a lot worse role models than Bono, yourself included. Jesus must be shuddering at the thought of how twisted his teachings have become, to the point that people invoke his name for the sake of putting someone else down. What a shameful example you set through your narrow-minded attitude.
