•  Iraq in turmoil

Nov 6 (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed when a helicopter crashed in Salahaddin province north of Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military said.

Two U.S. Marines and one soldier died on Saturday and Sunday from wounds sustained in combat in the western province of Anbar, 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 2,836

Britain 120

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 45,477 and 50,446*

# = 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.
