Jan 5 (Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed by small arms fire in western Baghdad on Thursday, the U.S. military said.

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 3,006

Britain 127

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 52,613 and 58,199*

# = 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.
