US CAPITOL POLICE WARN OF POSSIBLE MILITIA PLOT TO BREACH THE CONGRESS.
Security has been ramped up at the US Capitol in response to "a possible plot to breach" the building today, according to Capitol police.
The move was prompted by intelligence about threats made by a militia group, a statement said.
The force said it was "prepared for any potential threats towards members of Congress".
The House of Representatives decided to suspend today's session but the Senate, which also convenes in the Capitol, plans to go ahead with a debate on President JOE BIDEN's $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief bill.
