I WILL KILL YOU, BONO
By Paul Davis
ROCK star Bono's security has been stepped up following a string of death threats sparked by his campaign to help the world's poor. The U2 frontman and father-of-four has been told that the Royal Mail special investigations branch had asked Scotland Yard's Special Branch to investigate dozens of sick letters. Now his security team is set to lay on extra protection for Bono and his family.
So far, 24 letters - full of vile abuse, foul language, racial insults and death threats - have been intercepted. All were sent from London.
One threatened: "You have been warned and you and your do-gooder friends had better watch out. F*** the foreigners and help your own people."
Another makes filthy racist slurs against the people Bono, 43, has been helping in his crusade to help the world's poor. An extract from the first letter reads: "If this carries on you will end up in a box."
The letters were addressed to his management company at Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin.
Now Scotland Yard will carry out forensic tests on the letters and envelopes to trace either the fingerprints or DNA of the author.
The original tip came from a Post Office sorting room in London where a worker's suspicion was raised by the lurid green ink.
A Royal Mail investigating officer explained: "In time Bono may have to be interviewed because of the nature of the letters.
"An application was made to intercept the mail which gives the post office the right to open it. The contents were very racist and referred to Bono helping relieve Third World debt.
"These letters have been passing through London sorting offices for at least two years.
"There are references to harm or even kill him so if we find the culprit he will definitely face charges of making threats to kill.
"First we will be looking at saliva used to seal the envelopes as this will contain DNA We will also fingerprint everything and move on from there. The letters were spotted because of the unusual green ink."
Police at Scotland Yard are taking the threats to Bono's life very seriously.
They now have to investigate all threats against stars following the murder of Jill Dando by crazed fan Barry Bulsara.
The Royal Mail officer added: "No doubt many letters got through to their target - whether or not Bono opened them is another thing.
"Sending this kind of material through the post is an offence punishable by a prison spell. So we don't need a victim (in this case Bono) to go ahead with a prosecution - although it would help."
The police have collected 24 of the letters which were posted over the past two years - all traceable to an area in South-East London. The main thrust of the letters is that Bono should stay out of politics and stop getting involved in matters "which have nothing to do with him".
A police source said: "Most of the letters were posted in Borough High Street in South East London. It's not a highly populated area and it's assumed that the culprit either works in the area or is one of the few people that lives there. We are hoping to have tracked the culprit down within the next month.
"Whoever is doing this isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the box, but we never ignore threats like these, particularly in light of what happened to Jill Dando."
Bono's crusades have also been the cause for concern for FBI agents who believe the star could be a target for Muslim extremists. Islamic fundamentalists backed by Osama bin Laden issued a terrifying fatwa against him and fellow campaigner Aaron Cohen last year. Mr Cohen, president of the Jubilee Foundation, received more than 200 poison pen emails and phone calls last year following his exposure - with the support of Bono - of the vile slave trade in Sudan. Bono's security staff were informed of the threats, which echoed those issued to Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie in the early 90s.
But in spite of the threat on his life, Bono did not make any changes to his campaigning or decide to give up.
A pal said: "Bono will never give up his crusades.
"He is a key player in the campaign to end Third World debt, and will not be silenced by death threats."
