A man who threatened to set off a&nbsp;bomb&nbsp;on Washington's&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;Hill&nbsp;surrendered to police Thursday, ending an hours-long&nbsp;standoff&nbsp;that rattled lawmakers still shaken by January's pro-Trump insurrection.

The incident triggered evacuations and a massive police response, and sent jolts of anxiety through a city that has spent months on alert, as political tensions soared following the deadly US&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;riot.

The&nbsp;suspect, an apparent right-wing extremist identified by US&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;Police as Floyd Ray Roseberry, had been broadcasting live on social media from his truck, assailing President Joe Biden and Democrats, warning of a "revolution," and complaining about the US government and its policy in Afghanistan.

He had also claimed that four more sets of explosives were lying in wait in Washington and that they would be detonated, along with his&nbsp;bomb, if police used deadly force against him.

Much of the complex was cordoned off as police and FBI agents negotiated with the driver, who police said had appeared to have a detonator in his hand.

"He got out of the vehicle and surrendered, and the tactical units that were close by took him into custody without incident," US&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;Police Chief Thomas Manger told reporters.

Law enforcement were still investigating whether the vehicle, which was parked on the sidewalk next to the Library of Congress, contained actual explosives.

Manger&nbsp;said it was unclear what Roseberry's motives were, but in his Facebook Live steam he issued a series of incoherent threats and asked to speak to Biden.

"I'm trying to get Joe Biden on the phone. I'm parked up here on the sidewalk right beside all this pretty stuff," said the bald-headed man with a salt-and-pepper goatee, wearing a white T-shirt.

"I'm not hurting nobody Joe. I'm not pulling the trigger on this thing. I can't," he said. "I'm telling you, them snipers come in, they start shooting this window out, this&nbsp;bomb's going off."&nbsp;

'The revolution'

The live feed showed Roseberry in his vehicle holding a metal can with clay and a box with buttons and wires on the top, but it was unclear if the contraption was a viable explosive device.

While he did not claim a political affiliation, he referred at one point to "the revolution" and said: "I'm looking for all my other patriots to come out and help me."

Later he lashed out at Biden's party, saying: "You all know what you're doing, Democrats? You're killing America."

Facebook's policy communications director Andy Stone said the profile in question had been removed and the incident was being investigated.

While it remained unclear whether the&nbsp;bomb&nbsp;threat&nbsp;was genuine, the Library of Congress's main buildings were evacuated, as was the nearby US Supreme Court and at least one of the three House office buildings.&nbsp;

The Republican National Committee headquarters was also reportedly evacuated and the Washington Metro's&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;South subway station closed as a precaution.

A White House official said Biden was briefed on the&nbsp;standoff.

'Threat&nbsp;to every community'

Both the Senate and House of Representatives are currently on recess, but some lawmakers have remained in Washington and staffers are working in the complex.

House Democrat Bill Pascrell offered fierce condemnation of the&nbsp;suspect&nbsp;during the&nbsp;standoff, in comments that echoed the trauma of the insurrection which rocked the&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;in January.

"A right-wing extremist is now threatening to detonate a&nbsp;bomb&nbsp;at the US&nbsp;Capitol," he tweeted. "Right wing domestic terrorism is a&nbsp;threat&nbsp;to every community in the United States."

Tensions remain high more than seven months after the January 6 riot, when supporters of then-president Donald Trump stormed the US&nbsp;Capitol, fought with police and sought to block certification of the presidential election.

In April, a man rammed a car into&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;barriers, killing one officer before the attacker was shot and killed.

The January uprising prompted authorities to erect tall metal fencing and razor wire around the&nbsp;Capitol&nbsp;complex, which only came down in July.

Capitol Hill bomb threat standoff ends as suspect surrenders

The team of scientists and engineers behind NASA’s Curiosity rover has named a hill along the rover’s path on Mars in honour of recently deceased mission scientist Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez.

A craggy hump that stretches 120 meters tall, ‘Rafael Navarro Mountain’ is located on Mount Sharp in northwest Gale Crater, NASA said on Monday.

Navarro-Gonzalez died on January 28 from complications related to Covid-19.&nbsp;

A leading astrobiologist in Mexico, he was a co-investigator on the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM), a portable chemistry lab aboard Curiosity that has been sniffing out the chemical makeup of Martian soil, rocks, and air.&nbsp;

As such, he helped lead the team that identified ancient organic compounds on Mars; his many accomplishments also included identifying the role of volcanic lightning in the origin of life on Earth.&nbsp;

Navarro-Gonzalez was a researcher at Nuclear Sciences Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City.

"We are truly honoured to have a prominent hill named after our dad; it’s his and our dream come true to see this happen," wrote Navarro-Gonzalez’s children, Rafael and Karina Navarro Aceves, in a statement to NASA.&nbsp;

Rafael Navarro Mountain sits at a major geological transition in Gale Crater from a clay-rich region to one that is rich in sulfate minerals.&nbsp;

Analysing sulfate minerals may help scientists better understand the major shift in the Martian climate from wetter to drier conditions, according to Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity’s project scientist based at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
