(Updates with new toll) June 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was killed on Wednesday by small arms fire during a patrol south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Thursday. Earlier, Georgia said one of its soldiers was killed in Iraq, its third fatality since the former Soviet state deployed its contingent in 2003. 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 4,091 Britain 176 Other nations 137 IRAQIS: Military Between 4,900 and 6,375# Civilians Between 84,328 and 92,004* # = 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.
