A spokesperson for the Estonian prosecutor's office said the young man -- an ethnic Russian -- was posting calls to organize mass attacks against Estonian servers on Internet forums.
Many government sites in Estonia have been forced to shut down during the past week because of the attacks which followed the removal of a Soviet war memorial from the center of Tallinn.
