June 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Wednesday reported four more U.S. soldiers had been killed in Iraq.

One was killed when a roadside bomb detonated in eastern Baghdad. Another was killed by an improvised explosive device near Baiji, 180 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad. A third was killed and another wounded in an explosion in Diyala province. A fourth died from gunshot wounds in Diyala province on Tuesday.

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 3,501

Britain 149

Other nations 127

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 64,879 and 71,042*

# = 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.
