Sinead O'Connor has branded U2 as 'terrorists', due to the way they 'forced' new album Songs Of Innocence on people via iTunes. 

The Irish songwriter is the latest in a long, long line of musicians and celebrities who have voiced their criticism of the band. They have faced accusations of 'devaluing' music, forcing themselves on people and just not being very good. Now they have also been branded terrorists. 

''What they did with iTunes was a badly-judged move," O'Connor told Event magazine. ''There was something almost terrorist about it. I'm really not a U2 fan but it wasn't at all kosher invading people's lives like that. It was bad management.''

In other U2 news, Bono, after nearly avoiding death by plane, fell off his bike in Central Park and now requires surgery. This means the entire Tonight Show residency has been cancelled. 

Poor U2 just don't seem to be able to catch a break.
