A roadside bomb killed a U.S. soldier when it struck his vehicle on Saturday, in eastern Baghdad, the U.S. military said. 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 4,094 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.
