Aug 11 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier and four people were killed on Sunday in an attack involving a roadside bomb, a suicide bomber and small arms fire in Tarmiya, 25 km (15 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

Following are the latest figures for soldiers and civilians killed since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 4,138

Britain 176

Other nations 138

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 86,606 and 94,487*

# = 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 website the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.

The U.S.-led military coalition toll includes casualties from Iraq and the surrounding area where troops are stationed. (Writing by David Cutler, London Editorial Reference Unit)
