FACTBOX: Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
(Reuters) - An airman was killed in a bomb attack in central Baghdad on Thursday, the U.S. military said in a statement.
Following are the latest figures for soldiers and civilians killed since the U.S.-led invasion in March, 2003:
U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:
United States 4,013
Britain 176
Other nations 134
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 82,659 and 90,184*
# = 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 Web site 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.
