Authorities believe a body found buried last week in a San Francisco park is that of a man who had ties to Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland and who vanished two years ago under suspicious circumstances, The Chronicle has learned.

The man, thought to be Omar Sharif Allah, disappeared in October 2007 as the black self-empowerment group was in the final stages of its unraveling.

Its leader, Yusuf Bey IV, son of the man who founded the bakery in 1968, had been jailed two months earlier on charges of kidnapping two women and torturing one of them.

Bey IV has since been accused of one of the most politically charged homicides in the Bay Area in years - the August 2007 killing of Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, who prosecutors believe was shot in part because he was working on a story about the bakery's internal turmoil and financial difficulties.

The bakery has since dissolved, and its headquarters building on San Pablo Avenue stands vacant. But as the San Francisco discovery indicates, the violence that marked its final years may not be fully known.
