Danok blasts: From hell town to ghost town


Blast scene: Police investigating the area at the entrance of Oliver Hotel in Danok.

DANOK: This border town, known for parties that go on until the wee hours of the morning had been preparing for the mother of all parties on Christmas eve.

But with the explosions rocking Danok and two other nearby towns, it was soon reduced to being a ghost town with thousands of Malaysians fleeing back across the border into Malaysia.
