Bono rescued by armed police after being caught up in Nice terror attack following #ISIS lorry slaughter

U2 rock star Bono had to be rescued by armed police after being caught up in the Bastille Day Nice massacre, it emerged today.

The 56-year-old 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.

Since the attack, U2 posted on their Twitter account a picture of guitarist Edge with the message: "Love is bigger than anything in its way - Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry."
