Sept 10 (Reuters) - Seven U.S. soldiers were killed and 11 injured in a vehicle accident in western Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military said.

Earlier a U.S. soldier died from wounds received in a rocket attack while on patrol in northern Kirkuk province on Sunday, the U.S. military reported.

On Sunday, one U.S. soldier was killed and two others wounded during combat operations in western Baghdad, the military said.

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 3,769

Britain 169

Other nations 129

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 71,302 and 77,852*

# = 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 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.
