Scores of heavily armed police raided the Your Black Muslim Bakery in North Oakland and houses associated with the business early today seeking suspects and evidence in killings, shootings, robberies and a kidnapping, authorities said.

Almost 20 people - including Yusuf Bey IV, the head of the organization - were detained for questioning and several guns were recovered at the bakery in the 5800 block of San Pablo Avenue.

No one was hurt in the raids, which began at 5 a.m.

Police said they have arrest warrants for several men with ties to the organization but were still trying to determine if they were among those detained.

Police would not give specific details about the cases they believe are linked to the people associated with the bakery, but did say some of the alleged crimes were committed last year and earlier this year.

Authorities said at this point, there is nothing to connect bakery employees to the ambush murder Thursday of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, who was known to be working on a story about the organization.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

No connection? We’ll see...

Just another peaceful group of Muslims set-up by Da Man, I'm sure. (/sarc) Gee, I hope saying the word 'Muslims' isn't a hate crime. 8-o
