Radical group claims murders of US police in Dallas

Responsibility for the murder of five police officers in Dallas has been claimed by a radical civil rights group called the Black Power Political Organization.

The group posted on its Facebook page that there would be more violence to come, and made specific threats to Baton Rouge police chief Carl Dabadie Jr.

The suspect in the Dallas gun attack told officers he was upset over recent police shootings of black men and wanted to kill white people, particularly police, according to officials.
