Syria's state media on Monday blamed "armed terrorist groups" for firing at the UN chemical investigation team in the countryside of Damascus.
Russian Foreign Ministry termed on Wednesday media reports about the use of chemical weapons in Syria as "planned provocation" against the ruling regime.
Syria's Foreign Ministry accused armed groups affiliated with al-Qaida network of being behind the massive explosion that killed more than 53 people earlier on Thursday, the state-media said.
Three explosive devices went off Tuesday in Syria's capital of Damascus, leaving injuries and property loss, as a broad-based opposition watchdog placed the overall death toll of Syria's 22-month-old crisis at 50,000.
Violence intensified on Wednesday across war-torn Syria with reports of shelling in several areas and military showdown at a military airport in the north, as the United Nations put the death toll of the 22-month conflict at more than 60,000 people.
A series of deadly blasts rattled Syrian capital Damascus on Wednesday after the United States and its allies recognized the exiled Syrian opposition as the sole " legitimate representative" of Syrian people.
