BAGHDAD — Gunmen with automatic weapons stormed a house outside Fallujah on Thursday, killing an Awakening Council member, his wife and three of his children who had all been sleeping in the backyard to escape the summer heat, the authorities said.

The Awakening Council member, Khudair Hamad al- Issawi, was apparently a target because he gave officials information about a planned car bomb attack this month, said Sheik Aifan Sadoon Aifan, a member of the Anbar provincial council. The police defused the bomb.
