Your Black Muslim Bakery Raided

As already mentioned in Blotter's comments and in our tips section, Your Black Muslim Bakery on San Pablo Avenue (hot fish sandwiches -- mmm) was raided this morning, resulting in the arrests of over a dozen people. Police, bomb units, and SWAT teams came down on the bakery and several other "related locations" in North Oakland and Emeryville at 5 a.m. (Read Chron's article about it here, Examiner's here.)

Police claim that this was all part of a yearlong investigation. This morning's raid also comes on the heels of yesterday's slaying of Oakland Post editor and former Oakland Tribune reporter Chauncey Bailey, who it seems "was investigating the bakery and its related businesses" just before he was killed.

Hmmm.
