Sept 23 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier was killed and another wounded when a roadside bomb detonated near their patrol during combat operations in east Baghdad on Saturday, the U.S. military said.

A British soldier died on Friday, in Britain, from injuries sustained in Iraq last week, the Ministry of Defence said on Saturday.

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 3,792

Britain 170

Other nations 130

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 73,390 and 79,999*

# = 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.
