BBC news 2009-08-05 加文本

1. The president ordered his security adviser to conduct the inquiry, after allegations that the police had summarily executed Mr. Yusuf following his capture by the army.

这句话的前半部分是主干，后面是时间状语从句。that the police had……是同位语从句，指代的是allegations。following his capture是现在分词做状语。

2. The Secretary of State is likely to repeat that call and nowhere would it have more relevance than in Kenya where some of the senior politicians have been accused of instigating election-related violence and of attempting to evade justice.
