July 14 (Reuters) - A U.S soldier was killed on Saturday by a landmine while on foot patrol south of 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 3,612

Britain 159

Other nations 128

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 67,237 and 73,568*

# = 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.

Smoke rises from an explosion after Cambodian landmine and explosive experts defused a bomb at the Cambodia-Vietnam friendship monument in Phnom Penh July 29, 2007. A bomb exploded at the monument in Phnom Penh on Sunday, forcing the evacuation of a public park where two other devices were found and defused, police said. The 10-kg bomb detonated around dawn, causing no injuries and little damage to the stone statue erected after Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia and defeat of the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
