Dec 3 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers on patrol in Iraq's volatile western Anbar province on Saturday, the U.S. military said in a statement on Sunday.

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 2,893

Britain 126

Other nations 121

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 49,070 and 54,448*

# = 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 that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
