FACTBOX-Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed and one was wounded on Monday when a bomb struck their vehicle in eastern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.
A U.S. soldier died in a vehicle accident southwest of Baghdad on Saturday, the U.S. military reported. He was one of at least three other U.S. soldiers who have died in accidents in the last two weeks.
Following are the latest figures for soldiers and civilians killed since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

Other nations 138
