•  Iraq in turmoil

Dec 29 (Reuters) - A U.S. marine died on Tuesday in an attack in Anbar province, the U.S. military reported.

A U.S. soldier was killed in fighting in Balad, 80 km (50 miles) north of Baghdad, on Monday, 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 2,991

Britain 126

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 52,060 and 57,628*

# = 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. The IBC says on its Web site that the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
