•  Iraq in turmoil

Feb 19 (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed and 17 wounded when insurgents launched a coordinated attack on an outpost near Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military said.

A U.S. soldier died in Baghdad on Saturday as a result of a non-combat injury, the U.S. military said.

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 3,139

Britain 132

Other nations 124

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 56,640 and 62,362*

# = 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.
