Nov 13 (Reuters) - Two U.S. soldiers were killed on Sunday when a car bomb exploded near their vehicle in Salahaddin province, the military said on Monday. Two more soldiers were wounded.

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

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 2,848

Britain 125

Other nations 121

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 47,016 and 52,142*

# = 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, 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.
