Of more immediate concern, Panetta said, is how to help with the medical crisis that continues even after the end of fighting.
"Obviously our concerns right now are to provide whatever help we can with regards to providing medical relief and medical assistance for the large number of wounded in Libya and there are areas that we are now exploring to try and determine how to best address that issue," the U.S. defense secretary said.
Last week, CNN reported that there were no plans to the East Coast-based hospital ship the USNS Comfort to Libya to provide medical assistance.
