The attack "was definitely in the planning stage but not imminent, " RCMP chief superintendent Jennifer Strachan said Monday.
Heft and Hamdani were part of a group of Muslim community leaders who were briefed by the RCMP ahead of Monday's announcement.
Cpl Galliford says she will join her colleagues in suing the RCMP.
"We are supportive and thankful that the RCMP did the investigation and was able to apprehend the individuals before anything happened, " Heft said.
However, a joint investigation by Royal Canadian Mounted Police and local authorities found "insufficient evidence to proceed with charges, " according RCMP spokesman Cpl.
The name of the task force comes from an Inuit word describing the spirit goddess that looks after souls, according to the RCMP website.
The alleged attack was "definitely in the planning stage but not imminent", Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan said on Monday.
Heft, president of the Muslim social services organization Paradise Forever, cited the RCMP, which he said revealed the information during a briefing with local Muslim leaders Monday.
In a 115-page internal complaint she provided to CBC News, Cpl Galliford says she faced constant harassment from several senior officers since graduating from the RCMP Academy in 1991.
Mr Paulson, a veteran officer who was announced as RCMP's new commissioner on Wednesday, said the sexual harassment investigation would be the first step in repairing the Mounties' damaged reputation.
Krista Carle, one of four women officers who say they were sexually assaulted by an undercover officer during the 1990s, said the RCMP did not react properly to their claims.
Sanjay Chaudhary, who lives in the other half of the duplex with his family, said the RCMP questioned him about his neighbor Jaser, asking whether he knew him or spoke to him often.
Muslim community leaders who were briefed by the RCMP ahead of Monday's announcement of the arrest said they were told one of the suspects is Tunisian and the other from the United Arab Emirates.
"Today's announcement and public plea for assistance is a significant milestone in our commitment to solving a series of missing and murdered women investigations in British Columbia, " said Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, commanding officer of the RCMP in British Columbia.
The RCMP has been criticised for its handling of other matters in recent months - including the kidnapping of Robert Fowler, a diplomat who was snatched in Niger, as well as failing to prevent a riot in Vancouver after a hockey game in June.
The RCMP has also created a timeline for Fowler's movements over the last 40 years, and Shinkaruk called on citizens of Canada and the United States to think back to the 1970s, '80s and '90s and contact the RCMP with any new information in the still-open cases.
