The United Nations said on Sunday its experts would start their probe of an alleged Syrian chemical weapons site on Monday.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon "has instructed the mission ... currently in Damascus, to focus its attention on ascertaining the facts of the August 21 incident as its highest priority," the UN said in a statement.
"The mission is preparing to conduct on-site fact-finding activities."
