Kyrgyzstan is under a massive denial of service attack

"Last week IWMP* received a phone call from a colleague in Central Asia. Apparently, Kyrgyzstan is under a massive 
denial of service attack.
Three of four ISPs have been taken down, and their upstream providers in Russia, and Kazakhstan are refusing to pass 
traffic because of the scale of the attacks.
At this stage, the motivation appears to be political, and follows several political/mass media websites which have 
been blocked in the past two weeks by Kyrgyz authorities.
The suspicion is that the current DOS attacks are commercial"
