FACTBOX: Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
(Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed in a small arms attack in Baji, 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, police said. Two Marines and three civilians were also wounded in the attack, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
Two other U.S. soldiers were killed in separate non-hostile incidents in the last few days, the U.S. military reported.
Following are the latest figures for soldiers and civilians killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:
U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:
United States 4,207
Britain 176
Other nations 138
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 89,367 and 97,566*
# = 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. The IBC says on its website the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
The U.S.-led military coalition toll includes casualties from Iraq and the surrounding area where troops are stationed.
