April 7 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb killed one U.S. soldier and wounded three when it exploded in western Baghdad on Friday, the U.S. military said.

Earlier the military said that an explosively formed projectile (EFP) killed one U.S. soldier and wounded four when it blew up next to a U.S. patrol in eastern Baghdad on Friday.

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 3,269

Britain 140

Other nations 124

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 60,835 and 66,757*

# = 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.
