(FILES) In this photo taken on January 13, 1991, a dead Lithuanian pro-independence supporter has his eye opened by one of his comrades before being taken away during the assault on the Lithuanian Radio and Television station in Vilnius. A former Soviet security officer wanted in Lithuania over Moscow’s bloody 1991 crackdown against the Baltic state’s independence drive has been arrested in Austria, the prosecutor said on July 15, 2011. At the time of the assault in Vilnius, Soviet troops opened fire on unarmed civilians in Vilnius, killing 13 people and injuring 100 others. The suspect was detained in the capital Vienna under a European arrest warrant issued last year and could face life in prison if found guilty of "crimes against humanity and war crimes". He is one of 23 suspects in the case, 21 Russian citizens and two Belarussians, Lithuania's prosecutor general said on its website. AFP PHOTO / STRINGER
