March 18 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in western Baghdad on Saturday, 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 3,218

Britain 134

Other nations 124

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 58,908 and 64,729*

# = 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.

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon holds his chin during his meeting with Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (not pictured) in Baghdad March 22, 2007. Ban was left shaken but unhurt on Thursday on his first visit to Baghdad after a Katyusha rocket landed just metres from a building where he was giving a news conference. Ban and Maliki discussed a five-year reconstruction plan for Iraq that the secretary general launched last week as a "tool for unlocking Iraq's own potential".
