One hurt in explosion at Shi'a party office
Baquba, Iraq - A bomb exploded beside Shi'a party offices in the Iraqi town of Baquba on Wednesday, injuring at least one person and badly damaging the building, police and witnesses said.

The blast, which occurred just after 6am (03h00 GMT), shattered windows and doors at the offices of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (Sciri), one of the main Shi'a parties, in Baquba, 65km north of the capital.

Shi'a leaders, including the head of Sciri, have criticised a transitional constitution signed on Monday, saying that a clause relating to minority rights could jeopardise the natural dominance of Iraq's 60 percent Shi'a majority.

How many hundreds of these incidents happen that aren't reported?
