Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry said he assumed "a lot of weapons are going to find their way there from one means or another over the course of the next weeks".
The New York Times reported that US defence planners are preparing a range of land, sea and air summer fashion shop military options in Libya in case Washington and its allies decide to intervene there, including air-drops of weapons to rebels.

The rebels were forced to withdraw from Bin Jawad, 30km west along the coast from Ras Lanuf, where at least 12 people were killed and more than 50 wounded when pro-Gaddafi troops ambushed outgunned and inexperienced rebel forces, medics said.
Ras Lanuf's sole hospital was empty lastest guess handbags night after the wounded were moved to Ajdabiya, further east in rebel territory at Ajdabiya.
The odd crackle of gunfire sounded last night across the eerily deserted streets of Ras Lanuf after vehicles loaded with armed rebels were seen speeding out of the town.
The remaining rebel presence appeared very thin, only about a dozen fighters manning the main checkpoint into the town.
The UN called last night for $US160 million to cover relief support including shelter, food and sanitation for refugees as well as others who remained trapped in the strife-torn north African country.

When asked about Paris's backing for the national council - the embryonic provisional government formed by rebels in the second city of Benghazi - Colonel Gaddafi said: "It makes one laugh, this interference in internal affairs.
"And what if we interfered in the affairs of Corsica or Sardinia?" he said, speaking in Arabic.
Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said Rome has begun discreet talks with the rebel National Council to help find a way out of the bloodshed.
"We have better guess handbags contacts than others" in Libya, which is an ex-Italian colony, Mr Frattini told RAI 1 television.

New York won't win a championship this season
This is what they wanted, city and player. Anthony wanted to play in a big summer fashion market -- a big east coast market, if possible -- and play on a team with a chance to win. New York won't win a championship this season, but with Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire, both 26, they have the building blocks of a potential dynasty. A couple of good drafts, a free agent or two, maybe another big deal (hello, Chris Paul) and the Knicks should be in business.
The fans wanted it, too. They liked Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton and Wilson Chandler. And Timofey Mozgov was starting to grow on them. But Anthony? They love Anthony. Late Monday night when news of the deal first broke, a cluster of weary people waiting in a cab line at JFK airport clutching BlackBerry's burst out in a staggered cheer. On Wednesday it wasn't just the Garden that was sold out; outside the arena hundreds of fans, some carrying hand made signs with summer fashion 2011 messages to Anthony, pressed near the building to watch the game on the big screens hanging from the walls.
Carmelo's team, Amar'e's team...who cares? Fans here love them both equally. As long as they win, of course. See, the fans gave Stephon Marbury a standing ovation, too. They cheered even louder when he was traded out of town. They stood behind Eddy Curry for a while. Then they made him a punch line.
Knicks fans are fed up with losing. They have had to endure Isiah Thomas, the executive, the coach and now the far-reaching influence who continues to meddle in the organizations affairs. At Anthony's introductory press conference on Wednesday, owner James Dolan called Thomas "a good friend" but emphatically denied Thomas had any voice in the Anthony deal. A good sound byte, sure, why would Thomas, when asked directly this week if he had any role in the Knicks courtship of Anthony, offer up a bland "no comment."
Whatever. However it happened, Anthony is a Knick and he and Stoudemire have one mandate now: win. And that will take time. Throw Wednesday night's sloppy 114-108 win over the Bucks out. Despite scoring 27 points, Anthony looked nervous and Mike D'Antoni was explaining plays to Chauncey Billups as he was bringing the ball up the floor. More than once, Billups and Anthony made eye contact and ran one of the Nuggets' plays they were more familiar with.
"There were a few times we looked at each other and we just didn't know the plays," Billups said. "So I just said to him, 'let's do what we do.'"
Billups will learn the offense. Anthony, too. Figuring out how to play with their new teammates -- Stoudemire in particular -- may be a little more difficult. Both Anthony and Stoudemire like the ball in their hands and when it gets there, oftentimes it won't come back out. It will be incumbent on each to change summer fashion, to adjust their games so it better fits the system.
"We can work on some of it," said D'Antoni. "Some of [the time] it's going to stop in great hands. We'll find out as we go on. Amar'e will get his touches [and] we'll get it to where everybody's good. When they are all on the same page, it makes it a lot easier."
"I think it's pretty obvious to the players...that we're going to be pretty potent offensively. We have a lot of solutions to be a lot smoother and a lot better. If we can continue to guard as a team and double rebound in these next 27 games, if we continue to improve defensively, we can be good."
Just how good remains to be seen. When Anthony went to the free throw line late in the fourth quarter, the crowd showered summer fashion trends 2011 him with "Me-lo" chants.

Why would Heidi Jones do such a thing?
That's a question people are asking about a New York City meteorologist, Heidi Jones power balance, who allegedly told police a man tried to rape her only to admit she had made the whole thing up.
PICTURES: Heidi Jones Arrested
Police say Jones told them on Nov. 24 that a man tried to rape her a month earlier as she ran in Central Park. She said the same man harassed her outside her apartment Nov. 21 at 7:50 a.m.
Police went into action, speaking to possible witnesses and canvassing the area for a man matching the description she gave of her alleged attacker. When they went back to her to discuss the case, Jones admitted the fabrication, police said.
Jones, 37, had said her assailant was a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s, who grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her, the New York Post online shop reported. She told police that the would-be rapist was scared off by two passers-by who came to her aid.
Jones said she concocted the story in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback that she was experiencing in her personal life, according to the Post.
What do psychologists say?
"Some people get a thrill by deceiving smart people," said Dr. Cynthia Cohen, a research psychologist in Los Angeles who said she had no first-hand knowledge of the case. "It may be that this woman found it thrilling to try to deceive police, who are often pretty good about spotting inconsistencies. It's an adrenaline rush."
On the other hand, said Cohen, it's possible Jones was telling the truth about the attack but decided she didn't want to pursue the matter.
Jones was given a desk appearance ticket for false reporting and scheduled to appear on court Jan. 15. If convicted of the misdemeanor, she could face a year in prison and fines.
Jones' attorney, Paul Callan, said his client would plead not guilty.
"Ms. Jones has had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist and urges all concerned to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the unproven charges against her being discussed in the press," Callan said.
Jones, who also fills in on "Good Morning America," has a blog centered on running, where she talks about her love of the sport and her time spent running in Central Park. Her motto, according to the site, is "if you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you try air max shoes"
