Jan 19 (Reuters) - One U.S. soldier was killed and three wounded by a roadside bomb in northwest Baghdad on Thursday, the U.S. military said.

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 3,027

Britain 129

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 54,062 and 59,688*

# = 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.

An Indian policeman detains a Kashmiri Shia Muslim mourner during the Ashura procession in Srinagar January 28, 2007. Indian police used tear gas and batons on Sunday to disperse Shia Muslims as they marched to mark the death of the Prophet's grandson in Kashmir's main city, wounding more than 20 people, police said. Muslims all over the world mourn the slaying of Imam Hussein, a grandson of Prophet Mohammed during the first ten days of the first Islamic month of Moharram and Ashura is the tenth and concluding day of mourning. Imam Hussein was killed by his political rivals along with 72 companions in Iraq some 1300 years ago.
