Two, One captured in injured condition. It was IB-ISI Joint op apparently, as two officers from both agencies leading elite force and rangers respectively. Intel gleaned from the terrorist arrested in Okara last month led to this raid.

Pakistani police fought for more than 10 hours with militants they said were planning to attack the home of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, officials said Thursday.
An intelligence officer and two militants were killed when the shootout erupted during an overnight operation in the eastern city of Lahore, said police chief Zulfiqar Hameed. Shuja Khanzada, a provincial counterterrorism official, said the gunbattle took place at a house near Sharif's residence, which he said was the "prime target" of the militants.
Sharif was away from the residence at the time, receiving a briefing at Pakistani military headquarters on a major offensive launched against militants in the lawless northwest.
In a separate incident, a roadside bomb killed six people in the northwestern city of Hangu. Police official Abid Khan said a smaller bomb exploded first, causing no casualties, and that the larger bomb went off after bystanders had gathered at the scene.
The target of the bombs was not clear, and no one claimed responsibility for them.
Suspicion is likely to fall on Pakistani Taliban militants, who have been fighting to overthrow the government and impose their harsh brand of Islamic law on the country. The group has killed thousands of people over the last decade in a campaign of bombings and other attacks against government officials, security forces and civilians.
Since assuming office last summer, Sharif has been trying to negotiate a deal with the militants to end the decade-long violence.
But those efforts largely collapsed after militants attacked the international airport in the southern city of Karachi last month. The attack was followed by a major military operation in the North Waziristan region, a lawless tribal area that includes Taliban and other insurgent strongholds.
The Pakistani military says it has killed over 480 local and foreign militants in the operation and lost at least 26 soldiers.
Khanzada said the plot against Sharif's home was in response to the offensive. "We were expecting this. We are acting against the militant sleeper cells."
Punjab provincial law minister Rana Mashhood said intelligence had tipped off the authorities and that security forces had seized a large amount of weaponry, explosives and suicide vests.
Sharif survived an attempt on his life during a previous stint as prime minister in 1998, when militants blew up a bridge minutes before he was supposed to cross it en route to the same house in Lahore.

LAHORE: Five intelligence agency personnel died on Friday, hours after they were injured in a road accident in Sahiwal that took place while they were returning from the funeral of a colleague who was killed during the operation against suspected terrorists on Raiwind Road.
Eleven intelligence agency personnel had initially been injured in the accident Thursday caused by a collision between the van carrying them and a truck.
The injured personnel who were travelling from Raiwind towards Sargodha when the accident took place were transferred to the Civil Military Hospital (CMH) Sargodha for treatment.
The men were returning from the funeral of an intelligence agency official who was killed during an operation after security forces raided a house near Raiwind Road to capture suspects.
Two suspected terrorists were also killed in Thursday's operation that took place a couple of kilometres from the Jati Umra residence of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Police have CHANGED the details now. Saying the dead was not Aqsan Mehboob but Zulfiqar Nazeer!
1. So who and where is the "position holder" aqsan
2. Were all the stories we heard about "Aqsan" true?? Or made up
3. 10 hours for 2 people?? Elite forces and security agencies arent that elite it seems!

Most of Punjabi Taliban are from Let or Jaish or Harkut.. I think our Army/ISI should rethink about supporting these! (or stop crying about terrorism)The terrorist joined AQ from LeT.....Another classic example of strategic asset turning rogue
