•  Iraq in turmoil

Feb 6 (Reuters) - A British soldier was killed on Monday by a roadside bomb in Basra, the Ministry of Defence confirmed.

A U.S. soldier was killed north of Baghdad on Sunday by a bomb attack on his vehicle, the U.S. military reported. A second U.S. soldier was killed in combat in Diyala province 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 3,100

Britain 131

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 55,664 and 61,369*

# = 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. IBC says on its Web site that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
