这句话的主语"Saudi officials"，谓语"justify"，宾语"their action"，"as a legitimate response"是宾语补足语，"response to"可看成是固定搭配，其中"to"是介词，后面接宾语"attacks","on..."可看作"attacks"的定语；"which"引导非限定性定语从句修饰"attacks"，并指代"attacks"在定语从句中做主语，从句的谓语"were prompted"是被动语态，"themselves"是反身代词做主语(attacks)的同位语结构，"by Saudi Arabia’s execution of Sheikh Nimr alNimr"可看作是方式状语，"a prominent anti-government Shiite cleric and activist"是"Sheikh Nimr alNimr"的同位语结构。
