Nov 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier died on Monday night from wounds sustained in a roadside bomb attack on his vehicle in northwest Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

Earlier Britain's Ministry of Defence said that a British soldier was killed on Monday during an attack on an army base in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.

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

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

Civilians Between 45,608 and 50,582*

* = From www.iraqbodycount.net, 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.
