May 20 (Reuters) - Six U.S. soldiers and an interpreter were killed by a roadside bomb in western Baghdad on Saturday, the U.S. military said in a statement on Sunday.
Earlier South Korea announced one of its soldiers was found dead inside a barber's shop at a South Korean military camp in Iraq. His death is the first in the South Korean contingent in Iraq. 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 148
Other nations 127
IRAQIS:
Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#
Civilians Between 63,929 and 70,023*
