(Updates with British fatality)

Sept 7 (Reuters) - A British soldier was killed on Wednesday in Iraq, Britain's Ministry of Defence said on Friday.

Earlier the U.S. military said that four American soldiers were killed in combat operations in Anbar province in western Iraq and three American soldiers were killed in Nineveh province in northern Iraq. All were killed on Thursday.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq and Iraqi civilians killed in attacks since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 3,760

Britain 169

Other nations 129

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 71,302 and 77,852*

# = 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.

The U.S-led military coalition toll includes casualties from Iraq and the surrounding area where troops are stationed.
