The event is expected to attract over 1 million attendees, including former presidents and high-ranking government officials.
In its magazine "Inspire," the Al-Qaeda terrorist group called on its followers to use drones to carry explosives in order to attack and destroy "targets" in the event area.
Another publication from the organization stated that jihadist militants should target areas 'with large crowds, such as sporting events with hundreds of thousands of attendees, election campaigns, festivals, or crowded areas. It is important to attack people, not buildings.'
The article in this magazine also stated that Washington D.C. is the number one symbolic target.
In addition, ISIS militants also announced their intention to assassinate the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump.
In its "Rumiyeh" publication, IS called on its loyalists to target Trump's inauguration.
This group "advised" that targets should be "great targets" such as large-scale attacks like "the one in Nice".
Last summer, 86 people were killed when a truck plowed into a crowd watching fireworks celebrating France's National Day in Nice.
Just a few weeks ago, ISIS released a video calling for the assassination of Donald Trump and a host of world leaders.
It is expected that around 7,500 National Guard members and 3,000 state police officers will form a security perimeter around President Trump's inauguration on January 20th.
In addition to guarding against terrorist attacks, security forces are also concerned with dealing with protests involving approximately 75,000 people, aimed at paralyzing the city.
