An aide to Sarah Palin tells CBS News that there has been an increase in death threats against the former Alaska governor in the wake of the shootings in Tucson.

The aide did not provide details concerning the volume of threats, how much have they increased or whether they are being referred to the authorities.

A different Palin aide, Rebecca Mansour, told USA Today that the increase in threats since Saturday has been "incredible."

"There has been an incredible increase in death threats against Gov. Palin since the tragedy in Arizona, since she's been accused of having the blood of those victims on her hands," she said. "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence."
