•  Iraq in turmoil

Nov 10 (Reuters) - Three American soldiers were killed in two separate incidents in Iraq, the military said on Friday.

Two soldiers from the Military Police were killed in Baghdad on Thursday when their vehicle was blasted by a roadside bomb. A third was wounded.

A Marine also died of wounds on Thursday following combat in Anbar province, where Sunni rebels are fighting in the west.

The deaths brought the total of U.S. troops killed in Iraq to 2,842. Twenty-four were killed in the first nine days of November. In October, 105 were killed, the deadliest month in nearly two years.

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 2,842

Britain 121

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 46,863 and 51,968*

# = 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.
