(Adds troops killed in Anbar province)

July 2 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers and one Marine were killed in various attacks in Iraq on Sunday, the U.S. military said on Monday.

It said two soldiers and one Marine were killed in western Anbar province.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Baghdad on Sunday, one by small arms fire in southern Baghdad and the second by gunfire that followed a roadside bomb attack in western Baghdad. Two Iraqi policemen were also wounded in that attack.

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 3,583

Britain 156

Other nations 128

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 66,807 and 73,120*

# = 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.

* = The U.S-led military coalition toll includes casualties from Iraq and the surrounding area where troops are stationed.

A member of Iraq's Oil Protection Forces stands guard near motorists waiting in line to fill up their vehicles with petrol in Baghdad July 5, 2007. Iraq's parliament might take a week to start debating a draft oil law, officials said on Wednesday, as complaints from Shi'ite and Sunni Arab politicians and Kurdish authorities signalled its passage could be rocky.
