United States 3,487

Britain 149

Other nations 127

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 64,776 and 70,934*

# = Think-tank estimates for military under Saddam Hussein killed during the 2003 war. No reliable official figures have been issued since new security forces were set up in late 2003.

* = From www.iraqbodycount.net (IBC), run by academics and peace activists, based on reports from at least two media sources. IBC says on its Web site that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
