WASHINGTON:
Washington braced for a tense inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday, as more than 25,000 National Guard troops stood watch over a barricaded city, emptied of the spectators who usually throng to the quadrennial ritual.
With much of downtown fenced off, security analysts expressed confidence the unprecedented precautions would protect Biden’s noon EST (1700 GMT) oath of office from a major assault, like the attack on the US Capitol two weeks ago to the day that left five people dead.

Few signs of an organized plot to disrupt the inauguration have emerged, experts say, but the threat of lone wolf attacks, or violence carried out by radicalized individuals, was still a concern, particularly at state capitals.
