Jan 30 (Reuters) - A U.S. Marine died on Monday from wounds sustained in fighting in Anbar Province, the U.S. military said. A U.S. soldier died in a vehicle accident in Nasiriya, 375 km (235 miles) south of Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military reported.

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 3,081

Britain 130

Other nations 123

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 55,221 and 60,907*

# = 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.
