Jan 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was killed by small arms fire in southwest Baghdad on Saturday, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

On Friday, a U.S. soldier died from wounds suffered in combat in the western province of Anbar, the military said on Sunday.

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 3,009

Britain 127

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 52,853 and 58,454*

# = 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.
