FACTBOX: Military and civilian deaths in Iraq
(Reuters) - The U.S. military said in a statement that a U.S. Marine died on Sunday after being wounded in fighting in Iraq's western Anbar province.
Several other U.S. soldiers have died in separate non-hostile incidents over the last week, 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 4,213
Britain 178
Other nations 138
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 89,959 and 98,218*
# = 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.
