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.
