FACTBOX: Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
(Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was killed on Tuesday when his vehicle was struck by a bomb in northwestern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.
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 4,077
Britain 176
Other nations 136
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 83,521 and 91,094*
# = 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.
