The three blasts hit cafes in Kuta and on the beach at Jimbaran Bay and killed 20 people, including four Australians.
The attacks were carried out by three suicide bombers.
Indonesian police say they have moved three suspected militants to Bali for questioning.
“They just arrived here from Semarang and will be questioned in Bali over the October 1 bombings,” said Bali police spokesman AS Reniban after the men were flown in from the Central Java capital.
The three suspects were identified as Cholily, alias Yahya alias Hasan, Anif alias Pendek, and Abdul Aziz.
Cholily, who was arrested in Semarang on November 9, was a disciple of slain Malaysian bomb expert Azahari Husin, who had allegedly told him to deliver explosives to another Malaysian extremist, Noordin Mohammed Top.
The arrest of Cholily led to the police raid a week ago on the East Java hide-out of Azahari, who was shot dead along with an accomplice. There were no immediate details on the two other detainees, Anif and Aziz, who were believed to have been arrested in Semarang on the same day as Cholily.
In South Korea, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer was asked about the developments.
“I’m not going to talk about arrests and police investigations, except to make this broader point, more information has been obtained, and I think the investigation is moving ahead into precisely who was responsible for the Bali bombing of the 1st of October,” he said.
“I think that progress is being made.”
Meanwhile, National Police Chief General Sutanto said that police would allow Azahari’s relatives to see his body, currently being kept at a police hospital here, and to take it home to Malaysia.
“We will allow them to see it later, and if later they want to take it, (they should) feel free,” Gen Sutanto told journalists at police headquarters.
There was no immediate information on when the relatives, a younger brother and an in-law who have been in Jakarta since Sunday, could visit the police hospital morgue.
Azahari and Noordin, both members of the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI) extremist network, have been blamed by authorities for orchestrating the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, as well as for last month’s attacks.
