Washington: US President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration rehearsal which was to take place on Sunday has been postponed due to security concerns, according to a news report.
In the wake of the deadly January 6 riots staged by supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump at the Capitol building in Washington D.C., the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a warning about plans of armed protests from January 16 through January 20 at all the 50 state capitols, and from January 17 through January 20, the day of the inauguration, at the Capitol in Washington D.C.
According to the sources, Biden's team has also cancelled an Amtrak trip from Wilmington to Washington planned for Monday "because of heightened security concerns".

However, neither the transition team nor the presidential inaugural committee, Secret Service and the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies have commented on the development.
The Politico news report came a day after the President-elect "received a briefing from senior officials at the FBI, the US Secret Service, and key members of his national security team".
