The UN has said it is investigating seven potential chemical attacks in Syria, including three after the deadly strike on August 21.
Its inspectors plan to file a report by late October that will give more details of the attack in the capital, Damascus, which caused international outrage and nearly precipitated US air strikes.
The UN has already concluded the nerve agent sarin was used in last month's attack in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, which killed hundreds of people.
It was previously thought the UN probe would only look into three locations in Syria.
However, in addition to the August 21 attack on Damascus, the UN says it is also probing incidents in:
:: Bahhariyeh, east of Damascus, on August 22
:: Jobar, also east of the capital, on August 24
:: Ashrafiat Sahnaya, southwest of Damascus, on August 25
:: Sheikh Maqsoud, in the Aleppo district, in April
:: Saraqeb, in the northern province of Idlib, in April
:: Khan al-Assal, in northern Syria, in March.
The US and its Western allies said the initial report showed the Assad regime was behind the August 21 attack.
But President Bashar al Assad's government has denied the accusation, blaming rebels instead.
The announcement comes as a car bomb killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens more in Rankus, north of the capital.
