By Lisa Barrington and Dmitry Solovyov BEIRUT/MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Russian military helicopter was shot down in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province on Monday killing all five people on board, in the biggest officially acknowledged loss of life for Russian forces since they started operations in Syria. Russian identity documents purportedly taken from the helicopter could also be seen. Russia's defence ministry said the Mi-8 military transport helicopter had been shot down after delivering humanitarian aid to the city of Aleppo as it made its way back to Russia's main air base in the western province of Latakia.
