OAKLAND -- Police, SWAT teams and bomb units from throughout Alameda County detained more than a dozen suspects after raids at Your Black Muslim Bakery on San Pablo Avenue and three related locations this morning, police said.
The people are being held in connection with murder, kidnapping, assault and robbery investigations, Assistant Police Chief Howard Jordan said. San Pablo Avenue was cordoned off for several blocks near the bakery at 5832 San Pablo Ave.
Police said the North Oakland raids are part of an ongoing probe of businesses related to prominent Black Muslim leader Yusef Bey, who died in October 2003. They served search and arrest warrants on officials associated with the bakery, according to a news release from Oakland police.
It was not immediately clear whether the raids are directly connected to the Thursday slaying of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, who was investigating the bakery and its related businesses.

Ok they where following a guy named elijah mohammad, see my tagline.
The media is playing this like a typical “teen in a bakery” crime story.
Taste of the hereafter. This cult certainly has experience sending people to the hereafter!
“Yusef Bey”
I was worried there for a minute until I remembered that the mummy guy was Ardath Bey.
How’s the mainstream media going to play “hide the religion” when the name of the bakery says it all?
Their bean pies are actually pretty good. An aquaintance of mine bought one off the street from a member of the bowtie brigade when I lived in Chicago.
Did he have to take a copy of Muhammed Speaks?
Calypso Louie's house was, of course, only five blocks away on 48th Street. Really tacky pseudoMoorish architecture (in what was once, ironically, a Jewish neighborhood), with a swimming pool in the front driveway (I kid you not). I only saw him once at the Hyde Park Co-Op with two of his "Fruit of Islam" bodyguards.
