Nov 3 (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Baghdad and a Marine was killed by enemy action in Anbar province on Thursday, the U.S. military said. Another soldier died from non-combat injuries north of Baghdad.

Two other U.S. soldiers were killed on Wednesday also in Anbar province, the U.S. military reported.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 2,826

Britain 120

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 45,162 and 50,127*

# = 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, 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.
