Its not that they'd fake it, but it could have been a rebel faction (god knows how many are at play right now) that used it against another or general civilians in order to try and bait NATO into it. Look how quickly the UN called a special meeting over it.
The timing just doesn't make any sense for Assad to have done it. Sure there's been some gains made in that area, but other areas have been lost to Assad and they've faught harder to retake them and not even once considered using chemicals. He then uses them right near the capital when UN observers are there? Something is up either way.
Some random redditor summed it up well:

2nd commentor:
Considering how f##king nuts these rebels are, beheading children and whatnot, I would say option 2 makes a lot of sense.
