Nov 12 (Reuters) - Four British troops were killed in an attack on a patrol boat in Basra, the Ministry of Defence in London said on Sunday.

Three U.S. soldiers died on Saturday from wounds suffered in combat in the western Anbar province of Iraq, the U.S. military said 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 2,845

Britain 125

Other nations 121

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 46,943 and 52,053*

# = 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.
