KIDNAPPERS TARGETED BONO'S DAUGHTER

U2 frontman BONO's daughter was the centre of a $8 million ($4 million) kidnap plot when she was just four years old.

Bono visits the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Washington DC, USA - 03.10.07

Five Irish criminals targeted Jordan Hewson, now 18, and staked out Bono's Dublin mansion for six months in the 1994 plot.

The plan was later dropped after a veto by top gangster Martin "The General" Cahill, according to claims made by his daughter Frances in her new book.
