•  Iraq in turmoil

Jan 28 (Reuters) - Three soldiers died when a bomb went off near their vehicle north of Baghdad on Saturday, the U.S. military said.

Two soldiers died and three others were wounded in separate incidents on Friday in the province of Diyala.

Two soldiers died on Thursday when their patrol was attacked in eastern Baghdad. 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 3,075

Britain 130

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 54,982 and 60,659*

# = 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.
