Syria has agreed to allow UN investigators to visit three sites where chemical weapons have allegedly been used, the UN has said.
The inspectors will go "as soon as possible", a statement from Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's office said.
They are expected to investigate three locations of suspected use, including one in Khan al-Assal, outside Aleppo.
Some 27 people were killed in attacks allegedly involving chemical weapons in the northern town earlier this year.
Khan al-Assal was at the centre of allegations in March that chemical weapons were being used, with both sides of the conflict blaming the other for the attack.
It was under government control in March, but was captured by the rebels on 22 July.
While the UN did not identify the other two sites to be investigated, they are believed to be near Homs and Damascus.
It follows negotiations over access to the sites between the Syrian government, UN disarmament chief Angela Kane and head chemical weapons inspector Ake Sellstrom last week in Damascus.

Took bloody long enough. If chemical weapons were used, will any traces even remain after all this time? I know mustard gas persists like a bastard, but afaik nerve gases decompose fairly quickly, as do their decomposition products.

Assad: "Sure inspect the sites months after the attacks and we've had our forces cleaning up the area and intimidating / disappearing any potential witnesses".

Allah Akbar.
