RAAD republican group threatens more PSNI attacks
The group behind a bomb attack on a police vehicle in Northern Ireland this month has told BBC Newsnight it will carry out further such attacks.
Londonderry-based Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) told the programme that it had the same capability as the IRA before its ceasefire.
RAAD leaders gave Newsnight their first face-to-face interview as part of a report on their vigilante activities.
Since 2008 the armed group has murdered one man and shot more than 40 others.
They have persuaded some parents to hand over their children - some as young as 18 - to be shot by appointment in a non-lethal way to spare them more serious injuries, and dozens more young people have been ordered to leave the city.
