Factbox - Military and civilian deaths in Iraq, 11 Dec 2007

Dec 11 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber killed one U.S. soldier and wounded two in an attack on Monday in Salahuddin province north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

Another U.S. soldier died in Baghdad on Sunday in a non-combat-related incident.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq and Iraqi civilians killed in attacks since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 3,888

Britain 173

Other nations 134

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 78,085 and 85,072*

# = 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 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.
