Feb 15 (Reuters) - A U.S. Marine was killed in combat in Anbar province on Wednesday, the U.S. military said on Thursday.

Earlier the U.S. military reported that four U.S. soldiers were killed by roadside explosions during combat operations in Diyala province on Wednesday. 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 3,132

Britain 132

Other nations 124

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 56,256 and 61,974*

# = 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.
