April 24 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber killed nine U.S. soldiers and wounded 20 at a military base north of Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military said. One Iraqi civilian was also wounded in the attack.

A U.S. soldier died on Monday after a roadside bomb exploded near him in Muqdadiya, 90 km (56 miles) northeast of Baghdad, 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:

Britain 145

Other nations 125

IRAQIS:

Civilians Between 62,281 and 68,289*

* = 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 under estimates the true number of casualties.
