(Updates with new incident) June 27 (Reuters) - Three members of Afghanistan's U.S.-led coalition force and an Afghan interpreter were killed when their convoy was blown up by a bomb in Wardak, southwest of Kabul, the force said in a statement on Friday. In another attack on Thursday, in the southwestern province of Farah, a coalition soldier was killed, the U.S. military said. Thursday's attacks took the number of foreign soldiers killed in Afghanistan in June to 40, the highest monthly toll since U.S.-led troops ousted the Taliban in late 2001. Here are figures for foreign military deaths as a result of violence or accidents in Afghanistan since the Taliban government was toppled in 2001: NATO/U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES: United States 537 Britain 108 Canada 85 Germany 26* Spain 23 Netherlands 16 Other nations 74 TOTAL: 869 * NOTE: Figures supplied by German Ministry of Defence.
