Oct 31 (Reuters) - The FBI and other key law enforcement agencies failed to act on a host of tips and other information ahead of Jan. 6 that signaled a potentially violent event might unfold that day at the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Post reported on Sunday. On one site, a poster specifically mentioned Senator Mitt Romney, a Republican from Utah, as a target, the Post said. The FBI passed the information to law enforcement agencies in Washington but did not pursue the matter, the Post said. "The individual or group identified during the Assessment does not warrant further FBI investigation at this time," the internal report concluded, according to the Post. Four people died on Jan. 6, one shot to death by police and the others of natural causes.
