Rock star Bono was caught up in the Bastille Day massacre and had to be rescued from a Nice restaurant by anti-terrorist police, it emerged today.
The 56-year-old U2 lead singer was on the terrace of 'La Petite Maison', next to the seafront in the French city when mass murderer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel struck.
After Bouhlel drove a hired lorry into crowds enjoying a holiday firework display, killing 84 including 10 children, Bono and other diners were gripped by fear.
'Suddenly I saw people running, without shouting,' said Anne-Laure Rubi, the owner of the upmarket restaurant, which is popular with a number of celebrities. 'It was a silent panic - it was extraordinary.'
Ms Rubi told La Parisienne magazine that 'by reflex' she grabbed the arm of Christian Estrosi, the former Nice Mayor, who was sitting close to Bono.
'What's going on?' she said. 'He was on the phone. He didn't want to say much. I think he was just learning about the attack'.
Ms Rubi's staff pulled down the shutters, and instructed everybody to hide and remain calm, until the all clear was given.
Bono owns a home in the nearby town of Eze, and had been relaxing with friends when the atrocity started at around 10.30pm last Thursday.
As the slaughter on the Promenade des Anglais became clear, the star was eventually rescued by armed officers who led him to the nearby Massena square.
'It took around half an hour for the police to get us out,' said another diner. 'Like everybody else, Bono had to put his hands on his head, and was told to remain calm.

Gosh. What an inconvenience.
If we could only turn back time.
Bono had to be rescued by braver men with guns.
On the roads of Nice celebrating the day, then here comes a maniac from Islam so get the hell out of his way.
Bodies crushed left and right, the blood was from Islam trying to stir a fright.
So get prepared to save your families and get tough, remove all the Shari immigrants we've had enough.
Stop the assassination of all the Christians and Jews, it will be Islam and it's followers that will eventually lose.
Islam is a cult that will not win the day, eventually the civilized will act and force you to go away. Peace out bitches!
Has he blamed Republicans yet?

So, he was not in danger. But, because he is a "star", we must all grieve for him.
This here folks, is a Cat with 9 lives!
‘La Petite Maison’? A hypocritical SJW (is there any other kind?)
I understand his made sizable donations to philanthropies, but I suspect that was on advice from his tax attorneys. The thing that aggravates me about this joker is the way he is perceived as some kind of General in the war on injustice...
He has been invited to speak in the U.S. Congress, the World Economic Council, and you already knew this; had private audiences in the White House with BHO. GRRR!!
Right, and the Serbs shot at Hitlery’s helicopter.
If I had the power to do it...I would trade every one of these rich, spoiled brats lives with the lives of those killed in NICE. The world would be a better place.

HA! Good point ~ But it won’t make a difference in his propaganda, we can rest assured...

In other words, he was found cowering under a restaurant steam table long after the immediate threat had passed.
The “coexist” Prius morons have never read the K0ran.
If they ever do, they will say real Muslims don’t believe or act that way
Projection is the only way liberals cope with life.
“Bono had to be rescued by braver men with guns.”
Post of the day/week/month.
Bono should just go sing them a song and ISIS will stop the slaughters.
That is a brilliant observation.
