FACTBOX: Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
(Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed in the Abu Ghraib district of western Baghdad last week, the U.S. military said on Saturday.
Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq and Iraqi civilians killed in attacks since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:
U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:
United States 3,726
Britain 168
Other nations 129
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 70,663 and 77,183*
# = 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 that 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.
