Quoting CNN:

"Police arrested 600 people and 96 were injured in a second night of  
clashes in Estonia's capital over the removal of a disputed World War  
Two Red Army monument ... Russia has reacted furiously to the moving  
of the monument ... Estonia has said the monument had become a public  
order menace as a focus for Estonian and Russian nationalists."


We're now seeing large attacks against websites run by Estonian  
goverment. Some of the sites are unreachable. Others are up, but do  
not allow any traffic from foreign IP addresses.

Here's the status as we saw it on Saturday at 15:00 GMT.
