MOSCOW, May 11 (RIA Novosti) - A Lithuanian border guard officer barely survived as she came through a heinous attack on Tuesday in a Moscow train bound for Kaliningrad, Russian Baltic exclave.

Russia's Foreign Ministry is appalled and indignant, Alexander Yakovenko, ministerial spokesman, said to Novosti. He vouches the outrage will be detected and the culprits severely punished. All involved Russian agencies are ready for teamwork.

Unidentified criminals attacked a junior lieutenant of the Lithuanian Frontier Service at 4 a.m. today in a railway car close to Vilnius, Lithuania's capital. The 24-year- old woman-officer was found lying unconscious in the car on the Vilnius-Nauja Vilnia railway stretch. She was concussed, and had several bad head and face stabs and a wrist cut. The officer was taken to the Interior Ministry hospital, reports the Ziniu radijas radio company.

The train was held for four hours after the drama. No one of the 327 passengers, mostly Russian nationals, has been detained for now.

That was a first-ever violent attack at a Lithuanian border guard on a train, says Rokas Pukinskas, State Frontier Service press secretary.

The latest outrage on a Russian transit train came, September 14, as sixteen young Russians, who said they were National Bolshevik Party militants, handcuffed and chained themselves to car window handles and handrails. They demanded free train passage via Lithuania between Kaliningrad Region and the Russian mainland.
