Jan 26 (Reuters) - A U.S. marine died of wounds suffered in combat in the restive western province of Anbar, the U.S. military said.

A roadside bomb killed a U.S. soldier northwest of Baghdad on Thursday. Another U.S. soldier was killed on Wednesday whilst on patrol south of Baghdad, the U.S. military reported on Thursday.

One U.S. soldier was killed in a non-combat related accident on Tuesday, the U.S. military reported the next day. Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

Britain 130

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

* = 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.
