Russians took down South Ossetia websites

Found this whilst browsing round.

Just before the Russians attacked last week some websites were all taken down:

Websites on both sides, especially the Georgian one, were knocked out by co-ordinated online attacks. Among them were the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs websites, the online English language dailies ‘The Messenger’, and ‘Civil’, and the personal website of the Georgian President, Mikheil Saakashvili.
