The UN's Commission of Inquiry for Syria said Tuesday that it had begun investigating a suspected chemical attack that killed at least 58 people in a rebel-held town in the northwestern Idlib Province. 

"Reports suggesting that this was a chemical weapons attack are extremely concerning. The commission is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this attack including the alleged use of chemical weapons," said a statement from the UN experts who are probing potential war crimes committed during Syria's civil war.
