Nov 8 (Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed by a roadside bomb during a patrol south of Baghdad on Wednesday, the U.S. military said on Thursday.

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 3,858

Britain 171

Other nations 134

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 76,241 and 83,057*

# = 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. (Writing by David Cutler; Editing by Stephen Weeks)

The quantity of Iranian bomb-making components being found in Iraq is increasing despite a fall in attacks and 20 Iranian-trained agents are still operating south of Baghdad, Lynch said on Sunday.
