On Friday a 28-year-old man was arrested by detectives investigating the attempted murder following the search of a house in the Omagh area.
A 70-year-old man was arrested following the search of a property in the Dungannon area.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said the two men were taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite in Belfast for questioning.
Both men were released later on Friday.
The latest two arrests bring the total number in the attempted murder investigation to 17.
