Be aware of one gotcha: in case of flood attack, ISPs often filter ICMP and UDP (ports >1023) packets. So ping and traceroute won't work to the last hop there. More reliable is a telnet attempt to port 80. If successful, enter these three lines: GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: www.aljazeera.net (the third line is empty) and watch if you get some HTML back. It seems the server is up but heavily overloaded. I can't find out if the machine is overloaded because of a DDoS attack or because too high interest of viewers or combination of both.
