BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Former Rep. Frank McCloskey, an outspoken champion of Bosnia during his 12 years in Congress, died Sunday after a yearlong battle with bladder cancer. He was 64.
McCloskey, who represented southwestern Indiana's 8th District in Congress from 1983 to 1995, died at his Bloomington home Sunday.
McCloskey called in 1992 for selective air strikes against Serb forces if they continued their siege of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
