Nov 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier on patrol was shot and killed in western Baghdad on Saturday, the military said on Sunday.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed on Thursday in Anbar province, and a third died also on Thursday in a non-combat related incident in Taji, 20 km (12 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S. military reported.

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