The FBI warns that the assault on the Capitol, which sought to take hostages, will soon motivate more acts of violence

After the violent irruption in the Capitol, an emblematic building of American democracy, the "violent anti-government extremists", and specifically members of militias, radicals with racist motivations, and violent people who argue political grievances, "will probably be the

greatest threats to internal security in 2021 ".

It is the warning launched by a new report from the joint US intelligence system, made up of the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC, in English).

The bulletin of these agencies warns that the assault on the Capitol last Wednesday "will probably inspire more violent domestic extremists and others to take action in small groups or as lone wolves" against "racial, ethnic or religious minorities, as well as against institutions, law enforcement agencies, government officials and government buildings. "

Especially because, says the FBI, many extremists "consider it an achievement for their initiatives" and a "success" that the attackers could enter the halls of Congress.

At least five people died as a result of the irruption of the followers of Donald Trump;

one of them was a policeman who the attackers threw a fire extinguisher at his head.

The alert was issued at a time when suspicions have grown regarding the

true plans and organization behind the assault on the Capitol.

As more details and testimonies come to light, it appears that there were more sinister and coordinated intentions than simply entering the building to stop the ratification of the popular vote and electoral vote that gave Joe Biden the victory.

At least a dozen officers and police are under investigation for possibly having participated or assisted in the assault.

Two members of the Capitol Police have already been suspended after leaving videos in which they seem to give them indications of where to go to the attackers, who a short time before had heard speeches by the president, Donald Trump, and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, telling them to "fight as never before "and that there should be" trial by combat. "

Gallows, guns and handcuffs

Since January 6, at least two improvised explosive devices have been found and one of the first vandals arrested had in his possession 11 Molotov cocktails.

panic buttons installed in her offices were disabled

Clyburn has another office, which has a name plate outside, on the first floor.

No one broke into that one.

Part of the FBI investigation has focused precisely on the clear possibility that part of the pro-Trump mob

had strategic plans to take lawmakers hostage

When pro-Trump assailants began smashing the windows to enter the lower house, there were still congressmen in the evacuation process.

A group of 30 congressmen requested this Wednesday, before the House of Representatives voted in favor of charging Trump for a second impeachment, that it be investigated why there were

"The 

tours

 we noticed were so worrisome that we reported them to the sergeant-at-arms from January 5," the congressmen, who include Navy veterans like Mikie Sherill, wrote in the letter.

"Given what happened on January 6, the [possible] links between the groups seen inside the complex and the attacks need to be investigated," the letter added.

Investigations in the 56 FBI offices in the country will focus in the following days and weeks on reviewing all the images obtained, all the videos, and reviewing the emails of those who have already been detained to determine if the attack was coordinated, according to former agents. of security.

There are posts on social media and on various internet platforms that speak of discussions about possibly breaking into the building.

"Even if people act together, it doesn't necessarily mean there was a conspiracy," an FBI official, Chuck Rosenberg, told The Washington Post.

He added: "There may be 300 people with 100 different conspiracy agreements of three people per group, or there may be only one conspiracy among all 300 people."

Meanwhile,
