The only problem I can see with writing a book based on an extremely recent event, is you can easily date yourself. For instance, with a book set in Libya, if in real life we find out 6 months from now that Gaddafi has been dead for years, and it really was a body double being used in a form of a puppet government, but the book was written before this any subsequent reads will make the book stand out as flawed to most readers, especially if the book is written in such a way to enforce the older "It's really him" view.
