Mata Hari: Famous Spy's Home Destroyed In Fire

One person has been killed in a fire that destroyed the birthplace of famous World War One spy and exotic dancer Mata Hari, say reports.

Dozens of people were evacuated as the blaze destroyed 15 buildings in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden, about 90 miles north of Amsterdam.

One of the shops was where Hari was born as Margaretha Geertruida Zelle on August 7 1876, the daughter of a local shopkeeper, NOS public television said.

Hari became famous across Europe for her exotic dances

She travelled to Paris in 1903 where she became famous across Europe for her exotic eastern dances and liaisons with men while moving in high society.

Her stage name Mata Hari became synonymous with the archetypical femme fatale.

She was arrested and executed by firing squad in October 1917, aged 41, after being accused of being a German spy during World War One.

Several movies were made about her life and her character was played by various famous actresses including Greta Garbo, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Emmanuelle star Sylvia Kristel.

TV footage showed firefighters battling the flames and a huge plume of smoke billowing across the city.

Hari's first school report and many of her possessions were lost in the flames, local councillor Wyb Feddema told reporters.
