This is some basic code that will calculate what you want:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    set theLines to lines of parent story of selection
end tell
set allCounts to {}
set theCounter to 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of items of theLines
    if item i of theLines = return as string then
        if theCounter > 1 then
            set end of allCounts to (theCounter - 1)
        end if
        set theCounter to 1
    else
        set theCounter to theCounter + 1
    end if
end repeat
if theCounter > 1 then
    set end of allCounts to (theCounter - 1)
end if
return allCounts
