The two men, aged 37 and 73 were detained under the Terrorism Act yesterday evening.
They were taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning.
Several people have previously appeared in court charged with offences linked to the shooting attack.
Mr Caldwell has since retired from the PSNI on medical grounds.

Speaking then, he said he was still recovering from his injuries after being shot nine times.
"The recovery is going very well. That's thanks to the medical teams and thanks to the support from family and friends, and from my wife and my son," he added.
The attack on Mr Caldwell was claimed by the New IRA in 2023.
