The devastated brother of a Manchester terror victim has urged people not to use the fatal bomb attack to support anti-immigration views.

Dan Hett, 31, said he and his brother Martyn were second-generation immigrants whose backgrounds were "not worlds away" from that of UK-born terrorist Salman Abedi.

Martyn Hett, 29, was one of 22 killed at the Manchester Arena when suicide bomber Abedi blew himself up as crowds left an Ariana Grande concert.

In an interview with the Guardian newspaper more than a week on from the disaster, Dan Hett said he was touched by the “genuinely Mancunian” response to the last Monday’s attack.

He said: "I'm not a hugging person, but I have hugged every possible subset of human in the city.

"I've hugged a biker who literally had me off my feet.

"Yesterday morning I was in Sainsbury's with my youngest son, feeding him crisps, and an old lady stopped us and gave us both a cuddle.

"I know that whenever something like this happens people get very sentimental about their cities. And again it's descending into cliche a little, but the reaction does really feel genuinely Mancunian.”

He added he was frustrated about people using Manchester’s tragedy for anti-immigration arguments.

Half-Turkish Mr Hett said: “A UK-born terrorist took out, among many other people, my UK-born Turkish brother ... In an alternate timeline, the roles could have been reversed."

PR manager Martyn was days away from setting off for a trip to the US when he was killed.

Superstar Mariah Carey paid tribute to Martyn, who was a massive fan of hers, through website Instagram and said his memory will be cherished forever.

Ten people currently remain in custody for police questioning following a string of raids across the country.

Abedi had a "relatively minor" criminal record as a teenager but was not known to police for holding extremist views.

He appeared on police logs in 2012 over offences of theft, receiving stolen goods and assault, Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said.

However, Abedi had not featured in Prevent, the Government's voluntary counter-radicalisation scheme.

Pop star Ariana Grande is holding a benefit concert for victims on Sunday with Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Coldplay.

More than £2 million has been raised on a Just Giving page for the victims.
